Workshop – Beginning Silversmithing 11/29/26 9am-12pm at CCRMC Lapidary Shop

Learn to fuse thin rings made of Argentium silver, a type of sterling with a higher fine-silver content than standard sterling. Argentium is easier to fuse and resists tarnishing. You’ll practice controlling a butane torch flame to create a seamless joint and walk home with at least one skinny ring.

Safety Notes: Safety notes: Wear natural fabrics such as cotton or wool. Wear closed-toe shoes. Refrain from wearing long dangling jewelry and loose long sleeves. Tie back long hair.

Bring: Eye protection, either prescription glasses or readers.
