Working with a Jewelers Saw Workshop

Working with a jewelers saw (referred to as piercing) is a fundamental skill of metalworking. Getting comfortable with your saw will allow you to explore limitless ideas. With your saw you can cut classic shapes to make into earrings, create silhouettes for pendants and work your way up to more challenging, complex and intricate designs over time. This is a beginners class and does not require any previous experience. It's also suitable for anyone who has a hard time with sawing and would benefit from tips, tricks and more practice. We'll cover getting to know your saw frame, selecting the correct blade size for your project and practice cutting and finishing. This skill can be practiced and refined in a limited studio space - if you have a table to saw at and a few small tools you can add piercing to your metalworking skill set! Live Class options will be held in-person at our shop in Issaquah WA and include a materials kit and access to short demo videos to reference after class. A l
