You Can Make Friends -w- Your Saw! – with Joanne Davis-Woods
June 14 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$120.00
Join Guest Instructor Joanne Davis-Woods for this hands on Metal Sawing for Jewelry workshop.
This will be a small class with good one on one attention. Topics covered will be saw blade choice and methods of refining, how to use a saw as a file, and materials for “thrumming”, along with best methods for transferring patterns onto metal.
There will be two piercing projects for the 3 hour class, one with curves and one with angles. Choosing where to begin the cut can be important so we will consider approach. Blanks with patterns attached will be provided as well as saw blades with materials kit*. We’ll cover how to choose the right size blade, how to grip and guide the saw for accuracy, and how to use the blade to fine tune the cuts. We’ll cover thrumming and the different materials that can be used. And in addiition we’ll look into the various ways of transferring a pattern to the sheet.
I believe everyone can get more comfortable with their saw. If you can ride a bike or use a sewing machine- you are almost there! -Joanne
