Beyond the bead: Soldering techniques and surface effects
Does your solder spit or pit? Are you struggling to form a smooth, even bead? A clear understanding of how solder and flux interact can transform the soldering process — eliminating common frustrations while opening the door to expressive decorative techniques and sculptural possibilities.
In this focused two-hour workshop, participants will explore best practices for soldering maintenance, proper flux use, and controlled solder application. Through guided demonstrations, participants will learn how to achieve clean seams and develop a range of decorative solder finishes, including hammered, bamboo, and pearl textures. Participants will also be introduced to methods for stamping and sculpting solder, expanding its potential beyond structural joins into a decorative design element.
Using glass bevels and 60/40 solder, each participant will create a small 4-inch × 4-inch Tree of knowledge panel that showcases several of the techniques explored during the session.
All project materials are included.
Beginners are welcome!
