This class introduces all the basics to get started soldering your own charms, and then goes beyond that, showing you how to add your own special touches by attaching "vintage bling." And, we will be doing it with my most popular holiday for charms, "Halloween"! If you have been putting off learning to use the soldering iron, don't be "Spooked"! This fun workshop will take away all of the mystery, and answer the questions that have been "haunting' you.
In this workshop you will learn different ways change old black and white photos to make them your own spooky, elegant, or primitive witches. Then learn my secret recipe for my "ancient aged mirror " charm backs. We will also go over ways to add a patina to your charms if desired. This technique based workshop is geared to get students comfortable with cutting glass, soldering, adding jump rings, and soldering or wire wrapping vintage attatchments. Each student will finish 1-3 charms, depending on how much you would like to add to them!
