In this class, we will be learning soldering basics and how to apply those basic skills into creating other projects. Soldering isn’t just for making little charms any more!
Class will begin with some demos on smaller soldering projects upon which to practice. From there we will focus on our main project - creating a piece of hanging art. We will begin by applying some art/collage skills to creating an interesting, textured backgrounds to build upon. From there we will apply our soldering skills to create an heirloom piece of art.
