Mixed Metals by Patrick Davison

Focusing on techniques that use wire, sheet or tube as starting points the course promotes the combination of metals in different ways, achieving a wide range of different results.

The production of silver solders which is needed for a variety of different solder applications will be covered in the course, as well as the production of a range of alloys to introduce into the work. There will be opportunity to experiment with the taught techniques in order to engage with the process in a rich and personal way. Attention will be paid to the design process seeing how the materials we work with lend themselves to different applications with the option of making a simple piece of jewellery by the end of the course.
