Learn to Weld – and Leave with Jewelry
In this hands-on micro welder jewelry class, you’ll be introduced to the PUK III micro-welder, a precision tool that’s become essential in today’s jewelry studios — especially for creating seamless, solder-free connections like those used in permanent jewelry.
Whether you’re a beginner, a metalsmith looking to expand your toolkit, or just curious about this exciting trend, this short and focused class is the perfect entry point.
What You’ll Learn
During this 90-minute session, you’ll first get a clear overview of how to use the micro welder safely.
Then, you’ll jump into guided practice on two essential applications:
-
Closing jump rings with strong, precise welds
-
Creating connections for clasp-free permanent bracelets
In addition to hands-on time, you’ll also get helpful tips on machine settings, troubleshooting, and choosing materials. As a result, you’ll walk away feeling more confident with both the tool and the process.
Certification + Your Own Bracelet
By the end of this micro welder jewelry class, you’ll be certified to rent time on our in-studio welder. You’ll leave with a custom-fit permanent bracelet, made in sterling silver or gold-filled chain.
