SUMMARY:Brass & Copper Decorative Techniques 2022
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Sara Gries\nClass size: Maximum students: 10 Minimum students: 5\nLocation: Guilded Salvage Antiques\, 4430 Lyndale Avenue North\, Minneapolis\, MN 55412\nDescription: Sara Gries will share what she’s learned from years of exploring/experimenting with brass and copper\, specifically for this class the decorative potential of various processes: etching\, creating patina (coloring) by means of chemical or heat reaction (“flame colouring”)\, plating and removal/abrasion. In addition\, she will share tips for design (how to transfer your idea to the metal\, how to make curves and fine areas appear visually smooth and balanced) and will demonstrate the practical application of cutting\, piercing\, and contouring techniques.\nThis is not a project class\, but you’ll have several “samplers” to take home as you\, too\, explore the potential to apply these techniques to your jewelry\, knife-making\, tinwork\, or copper smithing. There is no pre-requisite of skills for this class. Just bring your curiosity and safety glasses. We’d like to limit it this first time to adults\, as chemicals and a micro-torch will be used for a few techniques.\nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class:\nNone\nSafety Equipment: Safety glasses\nLunch Arrangements: bring your own or take-out from a local establishment\nAcceptance will be based on the postmark date of the tuition check and membership status — Guild members have priority for registration—and will be confirmed by a letter.\nTo register for this class\, send a check for $65 written to The Guild of Metalsmiths\, along with your contact info\, to:\nChristina Dodge    christina.guildmbr@gmail.com\n17645 Baugh St NW\nRamsey\, MN 55303 \nAcceptance priority for this class will be determined by postmark.

SUMMARY:Forge Welding 2-Day Class 2022
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: David Mariette and Gordon Barr \nForge welded leaf \nCost: $160 member\, $180 non-member\nClass size: Maximum students: 8\, Minimum: 6\nForge welding: So\, you’ve seen it done. It looks so easy. Why doesn’t it work for me\, you ask? David will seek to dispel the mythical mysticism that seems to surround this technique and give you the tools you need to begin forge welding. Like many things\, there is no magic bullet. It is a compilation of doing everything right\, not just one thing. Starting from the ground up learning to manage heat\, you’ll begin with some basic welding\, and as you gain some experience move on to a few more advanced welding configurations. Possible projects this year: a flux spoon\, tripod\, chain\, leaves & tendrils “bouquet” and if time allows\, a basket twist.\nPrerequisite: Solid basic forging experience. We’ll be using coal forges.\nAdvanced forge welding skills option:\nHave you taken this class in previous years\, or done some simple welds but nothing since? David will teach advanced techniques (concurrently with the basics) for those who have done forge welding and would like to progress their skills. Please let us know when registering.\nSafety Equipment: The usual. Eye and ear protection. No flammable clothing. Leather work boots. Since we are forge welding and there will be more sparks than usual\, students should dress with that in mind. Bring an apron if you have one.\nTools and Equipment: Hammer & tongs (for stock sizes to be listed in an acceptance letter). As part of the cost of the class\, students will be provided with their own wire “scratch” brush and a 1-lb. can of EZ Weld. Stock is provided.\nLunch arrangements: Bring a bag lunch or visit one of the area restaurants.\nTo register for this class\, send a check payable to “The Guild of Metalsmiths” and your contact information to:\nChristina Dodge\n17645 Baugh St NW\nRamsey\, MN 55303\nContact Christina with questions at christina.guildmbr@gmail.com\nRegistration for this class will be determined by postmark and confirmed with an acceptance letter. Guild members have priority.
