This class is a follow-up to the Jewelry I class or for students with prior experience soldering and basic jewelry making skills. Students will create more complex pieces using the skills they have obtained. More confidence will be gained along with more jewelry techniques. This class will help the student decide if they wish to continue to make jewelry and invest in the equipment that they will need.
