How to Make Hollow Forms For Jewelry

Creating hollow forms for jewelry. This tutorial explains various way how I create hollow forms and texture metal. The tutorial is 10 pages long with process photos and instructions. I always love creating hollow forms, I feel they give beautiful dimension to your jewelry piece. Learning new metalsmith techniques always gives the artist a wider range of design choices. I have also added the pdf tutorial on how to create a tube bangle, therefore there will be two separate tutorials to download after making your purchase. One dedicated to creating hollow forms and another on how to create a tube bangle. In these tutorials I only explain how to make the hollow forms and a tube bangle , not the finished jewelry piece. You can see how I used the hollow forms in my jewelry creations in the above photos.Techniques required: Soldering, texturing, sanding, filing, rolling mill, cuttingMetalsmithing: Intermediate levelRequired materials and tools:22 gauge sterling silver sheet (or base metals)2
