This hands-on workshop introduces the foundational skills of working at a jeweler’s bench—centered around torch soldering with an oxygen-acetylene setup. You’ll learn how to safely operate a torch, prepare metals for soldering, and create simple pieces inspired by accessible designs from the Commonform jewelry line.
Workbench Orientation: Learn the layout of a professional jeweler’s bench, including tools, safety setup, and torch controls.
Soldering Basics: Get comfortable using an oxygen-acetylene torch to heat and join metal components.
Simple Project Assembly: Apply your new skills to make one or more small pieces (such as stackable rings, bar studs, or pendants).
Finishing Techniques: Use hand and motorized polishing tools to clean and finish your piece to a wearable state.
Beginners interested in learning torch techniques
Jewelry enthusiasts ready to explore metalsmithing
Makers looking to expand their skills in a supportive, small-group setting
One or more completed soldered pieces made by you
Firsthand experience using a torch and working at a real jeweler’s bench
Confidence in basic soldering and finishing techniques
A strong foundation for future metalsmithing or more advanced workshops
A unique, hands-on experience shared with a small community of learners
