WOW! Most of the work featured here was the first time students ever used a jeweller’s saw! Students choose an image, transfer it to metal, and cut it all out by hand. Some students chose to try their hand at sweat-soldering two pieces together. Incredible work, everyone!
WOW! Most of the work featured here was the first time students ever used a jeweller’s saw! Students choose an image, transfer it to metal, and cut it all out by hand. Some students, including K.M. in Grade 10 (the amazing orca) chose to try their hand at sweat-soldering two pieces together. Incredible work, everyone!
It’s been a busy year here in the Highland shops! After a hiatus to complete a Masters degree, I’m (finally) updating our website. Thank you for your patience!
Here are some incredible pieces from our Fall 2018 Senior students – all pieces are soldered with 2 types of metal, and hand-cut with jeweller’s saws by students. Excellent work everyone!
Gorgeous work done by Jewelry 11/12 students. Each student chooses their image and metal varieties, and all cutting is done by hand with a jeweller’s saw. Pieces are then sweat-soldered, sanded, and polished.
A perfect send-off post for summer vacation (and R.I.P., Leonard Nemoy).
Awesome work by Grade 9 student E.S. – she even added a brooch pin, so this can be worn in full Trekkie fashion.
Have a great summer, everyone! – Ms. T.
Check out the incredible metalwork skills shown by M.B., K.S., and L.C. Each student chooses a design and carefully cuts it out by hand with a small jeweller’s saw. The patience required can be huge, and these students nailed it! (M.B. soldered her copper and nickel silver pieces together to create the husky). Great work!
Awesome creative project work by K.M. (stormtrooper) and J.Z. (name plate – it reads her name either way you flip it) in Senior Jewelry. Check out the neat texturing on the nameplate background too!
That first one is just in time for May the 4th…
Creative indeed! Students choose an image and their metals, cut out their designs, and solder them together by the power of “sweat” soldering. Featuring work by Grade 11 & 12 students: C.F., M.L., A.G., M.X., T.H., K.E., and C.M.
Self-directed pieces by M.F. and T.G. in Grade 12. Pieces are uniquely designed, cut out by hand, and soldered to contrasting metals by “sweat-soldering”.
These Grade 9/10 students wanted to try something a bit more advanced for their pendant projects! After designing and cutting out an image by hand with a jeweller’s saw, each student sweat-soldered their piece onto a different type of metal. Incredible work, everyone: I am so impressed!
