Confidently approach your bench, know what tools to use, how to use them, and what to buy. Learn to make a monstera leaf necklace and take your silversmithing knowledge to the next level.

stop searching. start creating.

It can take years to figure all of this out on your own

Let's be honest, the idea of beginning silver work can be daunting, let alone thinking about setting up your own studio. So you take to google- but what do you need to know? The searches are endless and the results can often leave you with more questions than when you began. What tools do you buy, do you really need them all, what metal is the best option? Inside Intro to Soldering all of these questions will be answered and you'll complete the course with a greater understanding of your equipment, tools, and materials.

I'VE BEEN THERE

We all start at the beginning, and believe it or not, that's where I started too. I first found metalwork nearly 20 years ago, and still, for years I was paralyzed by the idea of silversmithing in my own studio- what do I buy, how much of everything do I need, do I have to invest in all of this at once? I worked in a huge studio but now I'm in a small space... how do I make it work?

Sound familiar? Trust me, I get it.

I felt so comfortable working within an already-established studio setting, but when I branched out on my own it's like all the information I learned flew right out of my head. If you're an over-analyzer like me, you know the vibes. STRESS. I scoured the internet, watched YouTube videos and read blog posts, participated in paid courses, and piece-by-piece I found my confidence in building my studio and creating my work. But it took a while...

This course is the culmination of all that I learned over one year of focused research and
three years of practice in my own space .

I will never forget the feeling of overwhelm and all the reasons I thought I needed to wait, or why it wasn't a good time to begin, and of not being good enough. You name it, I thought it. I'll never forget the feeling of being frustrated when my materials weren't working as I thought they should be, seeing work and thinking "If only I could make something like that, but I have no idea where to begin". I'm so happy that I was able to experience all of this because it's from this place that I was able to create Intro to Soldering.

This is the course I wish I had and I'm incredibly honored to bring it to you now. Join me inside and your relationship with metalwork will be forever changed. We're here to shake the earth with our artistic vision and there is no better time than now.
