Jewelry Workshop 1
*Handwavey* notes appeared for all students that the Jewelry workshop will be in Agatha’s shop.
Agatha came in and surveyed the room. “Welcome guys. This is introductory Jewelry, and I am Agatha. Some of you know me from last term, some of you know me from around town.” She waved to John.
“This workshop is about doing something fun and beautiful. Because really, that is what jewelry is. We will learn basic techniques that will enable you to make several small pieces. However, today we are going to talk a bit about what jewelry is and make sure you are aware of all the safety procedures. Come this way.”
She will walk around the workshop showing them various bits of equipment. “Ok, this is the ventilation hood. Chemicals have to be used under here, and also the torches. These are oxy-acetylene torches, which means they combine the acetylene in this tank with the oxygen around you to burn.” She turns the knob and strikes the striker. “This is how you turn it on. This knob controls the size of flame. Don’t touch the flame, it is hot. Her eis the dremmel machine. It’s a flex-shaft, so be careful. It is for drilling, and for fine polishing work. And this is the pickle solution. Don’t put your hands in here. Also, don’t put ANYTHING that is stainless steel in there, it will copper plate everything you have in there.” She quickly closes the crock-pot of pickle solution, due to the heavy acidic smell. “This is where the tools are kept. There are pliers, and cutters and bristle brushes and everything here. There is also sheet metal and wire. You should have everything you need.” The cabinet is indeed full of all kinds of jewelry supplies, funky shaped saws and files and everything.
“The med kit is here. You should totally not ever need it, but just in case. Now, please introduce yourselves, and tell me, what is Jewelry? Describe a piece of jewelry you have seen that epitomized the term to you.”
