Riveting: BIG and Small!
Please note: the dates for this class have recently changed, and are reflected on this listing (new dates: 2/11 & 2/25).
Rivets are one of the oldest and most prolific cold connection joinery techniques mankind has utilized throughout history. Whether decorative or functional, rivets add a distinct visual style to anything they find themselves incorporated into. In this demo-focused virtual workshop, students will learn the ins and outs of hammering metal rods/wire into these structural and decorative elements, with a distinct focus on a range of small to large, and in two variations used most commonly in jewelry and metalsmithing: flush rivets and mushroom rivets.
Larger rivets require larger tools and items to complete and the instructor will demonstrate using a drill press to create the large holes required for the technique.
