Fusing and Argentium Silver
Argentium Silver is an alloy with some amazing properties that can open up design possibilities, not achievable with traditional sterling silver. In this two day workshop, we will discuss what makes Argentium different and how to fuse Argentium with just the heat of the torch. No solder required! In class, I will demonstrate the fusing process in the following ways; Fusing sheet to sheet
Fusing 16g wire rings and fusing them to stack
How to best grind silver into dust and how to fuse the dust to create texture
Making Argentium granules and fusing them to your piece
This will be a project based class but I encourage using the process and making it your own.
The workshop will be held at Garnet Studios, 5547 N. Ravenswood Ave., Suite 108, Chicago, IL
June 3rd and 4th 2025
Students will be given a material supply list for the class and a list of tools needed. Garnet Studios is a wonderful space that is fully equipped with most everything you will need.
Cost $375.00
