Simple in design, it challenges your soldering and finishing techniques and takes them to the next level. Learn more about flame and heat control and gain a better understanding of soldering and how to use it to your best advantage. Add a choice of embellishments appropriate to your skill level. Come spend a day creating a piece of art to wear while gaining more confidence at the torch.
