Argentium™ is a new silver alloy that does not tarnish, which has always been the main problem with traditional sterling silver. In general, the new metal responds to jewelry processes in similar ways to sterling, with some small exceptions. Take this class to learn the technology and techniques required to work with Argentium™ Sterling Silver. Instruction includes fusing simple and complex, flat and three-dimensional forms. Demos are followed by hands-on practice, as students create rings, earrings, bezels and a hollow bead. Bring small stones and/or some 18k or 22k gold and learn how to combine these materials with Argentium™. Prerequisite: Fabrication 2 or experience. 24 hours
