Granulation is the ancient technique of fusing small spheres of silver or gold onto a piece of jewelry to form a decorative element. In this class students will learn the basics of fusing fine silver, both wire and sheet, before going on to learn the technique of granulation. We will cover the process of making our own granules, preparation of the metals, fusing of fine silver and the granulation process itself. Come take a step back in time and learn this fascinating process. Good torch skills a must! This is a 2-weekend workshop. Level: Intermediate. Soldering Skills required. With instructor Jill Hurant. Jill has studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Jewelry Arts Institute of Manhattan, and schools all over the east coast to increase her knowledge. "Even with all the techniques I have learned I still love granulation and the richness of the 22k gold. I have tried to take this ancient technique and give it a more modern edge." With its classical beauty, Jill's jewelry has a timeless elegance.
