Intro to Soft Solder: Mini Frames, Gems & Shells
Explore the vast, silver world of Soft Solder in this explorative, introductory workshop!
If you're wondering WTF soft soldering even is... give this Pinterest board a peek to get an idea of the (endless) possibilities <3
You'll learn how to create texture and forms out of lead free solder, how to create spikes and dots, utilize temperature and timing to your advantage, clean your pieces, and stay safe in the process!
You'll explore these new techniques on miniature frames, shells, gems, ceramics and colored glass pieces, leaving with a few of your very own soldered pieces.
All materials will be provided. It will be a delightful few hours of creativity, learning & community.
Complimentary bevs available, and snacks will be available for purchase. Please note: a signed waiver will be required to participate!
See you there<3

What can I expect from a workshop at RecCreate?
Workshops at RecCreate are like the art school education your parents never let you get, at a tiny fraction of the price led by NYC’s most talented creatives + educators. We make sure you leave with something very special along with the know-how to continue exploring at home. Our emphasis is on education, creative exploration and tool proficiency.
As with all RecCreate events, you can expect to go on this journey with a room full of lovely strangers. We’ll offer opportunities for connection throughout our time— encouraging the spirit of the collective. It is (so) much more fun to get to create together.
