In this video, Prof. John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy explains how to use basic techniques to create unique hollow form beads to accent your jewelry designs.
Over the years the OJA has provided viewers with many step-by-step how to videos that explain a wide range of DIY jewelry making processes. This video combines the knowledge viewers have gleaned from various OJA videos to make a more advanced jewelry item. Specifically, this video explains how you can utilize your knowledge of soldering, bending, ring making, drilling, finishing techniques and safety procedures to make very expressive hollow forms.
Be sure to pay attention to the safety information in the video. It is imperative that hollow forms have a hole(s) in them to help equalize the interior pressure that builds up during soldering. If you forget to drill a hole into one part of the object, it can EXPLODE (no kidding!).
