In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to use forming hammers and a sandbag to add dimension to projects. This technique can be used with sheet metal made from copper, brass, silver or gold.
I always tell students that it's easy for me to identify a beginning jeweler. There are two telltale signs of being new to the craft. One is only using holes drilled through pieces to make linkages. The other is consistently making flat pieces. If you're a newbie to the jewelry making field, this short video will pump new life and energy into your designs.
