Description of workshop:
Pewter’s low melting and flow points present metalsmiths with unique opportunities to create complex compositions by combining it with traditional nonferrous alloys. In this workshop students will learn to solder and fuse pewter to brass, copper, silver, and itself with the goal of producing dynamic three dimensional forms. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding how to introduce pewter into an active silversmithing studio while avoiding cross contamination of metals.
Students will need to provide the
following materials and tools:
6x12 sheet of 16 gauge pewter
