Decorative Sculpted Solder & Beyond
 

In a workshop chock-full of information, Kay will teach sculpting with solder, creating special effects working with several gauges of sheet copper and mesh, a solder pot, and no fire stains to enhance all your glass art. Use a metal plate to solder sculpt ornamental designs. Create a pattern chart while learning to solder decorative pattern seams. Learn to make molds and cast with solder to create ornaments. Explore unique tools and gadgets to manipulate pliable copper, learn to drape, pierce, hammer, and emboss design for overlays and sculptural effects. This dynamic instructor will demonstrate dozens of innovative ideas to give your glass art a professional touch, e.g., box tops, book covers, jewelry, lamp bases, door pulls, flowers, holiday ornaments, picture frame corners and copper overlays.
