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 two-day workshop 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!
