Torch Fired Titanium Jewellery

Description

Level: Intermediate – Workshop experience in saw piercing, drilling, and silver soldering is essential for this session. Join us for a torch-fired titanium jewellery workshop and explore the alchemy of heat and colour in this one-day masterclass. Titanium is a fantastic alternative to working in precious metals because of its ability to take on beautiful, iridescent hues. It can be a tricky material to master on your own, but with a bit of practice, some careful observation, and good torch control, you can get some amazing and surprising results. Join us for a day of expert tuition on how to make the most of this mysterious metal and how to transform it into stunning jewellery.⁣ As well as using heat to bring out the colour, we’ll cover how to fine-tune your existing skill set to work with this robust metal. Titanium cannot be soldered, so this course will teach you how to make professional-looking cold connections such as wire and tube rivets. Students will have the opportunity to work with both sheet metal and wire to produce several samples before completing a simple finished project. The finished piece will be heat-coloured to give it a brightly coloured oxide layer that is completely stable.
