In this 2-day workshop you will fabricate an etched “I VOTED” brooch using many metalsmithing techniques and processes.
Day 1: Dive deep into mastering Chemical-Free Salt Water Electrode Etching. You’ll learn how to etch designs on copper, silver, and steel, including flat sheet metal, rounded surfaces, and other odd items.
Day 2: You’ll transform your etched copper cabochon into a finished brooch by setting it in a silver bezel setting, attaching a four-point pin back, and polishing the final piece with a buffing wheel and flex shaft. By the end of the day, you’ll leave proudly wearing your handcrafted brooch!
All Levels: No experience needed, open to all skill levels
