​Harness the power of liquid metal to create your own soldered jewelry.

​Welcome to the Kiki and Bouba Solder Lab! In this hand-on workshop you'll learn the basics of decorative soldering and copper foiling. Then, you'll use those tools to create your own necklace, earrings or keychain.

​This class will begin by explaining solder, copper foil and some contemporary techniques using the two. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of the process as well as some safety procedures.

​After the mini-lecture, guests can expect a foiling and soldering demo using a few different strategies. We will also go over some jewelry making basics. Once the demos are over, students are free to start designing their pieces with guidance from our instructors.

​The last part of class will be heads-down, supervised work time for students to assemble and finish their pieces.

​By the end, you'll walk away with a super unique necklace, earrings or keychain to show off your new soldering skills.

​Please note: Most non-meltable things can be soldered! If you would like to bring in your own gem, rock, shell etc - please do!

Classes are kept intentionally very small so that you'll have your instructor's attention throughout. Questions are welcome at every step.

The skills and satisfaction you walk away with are always worth it.
