This class is all about teensy tiny moving parts. They can seem intimidating at first but with a little guidance you’ll be crushing it. And by crushing it I actually mean not crushing it because then they wouldn’t work anymore. I’ll cover building 22k gold bezels for cabochons, making saddle settings for drilled stones, making tiny hinges and riveting them together without freezing the hinge, making a little swivel hook for ear wires so that the earrings don’t go flying off the next time you’re headbanging in the mosh pit, and tons of other little tips and tricks that have applications in all sorts of scenarios.
