Virtual Soldering Classes for Artists Using Alternative Metals"
Silver plate, copper, nickel silver, stainless steel, and brass behave nothing like sterling, and most jewelry classes don’t teach the techniques and products you actually need. In my beginner workshops, we slow everything down, explain the “why” behind the metal, and walk step‑by‑step through your first successful solder.
