Instructor: Julia Lowther 

Soldering is a basic and essential skill for metalsmiths and jewelry makers. However, not all torches or soldering situations are the same. There are many types of torches available. We are going to focus on the benefits of the Orca/EZ Torch for propane/atmospheric air and its potential to be a good introductory torch for your studio.

I will introduce the torch, demonstrate setup, and discuss safety. I will demonstrate how to adjust the torch for large and small soldering situations, and go over the uses of the three different tips. We can also address soldering challenges each participant may be facing with projects. 

This torch is designed for propane use only, and is an excellent option for a small rented studio or apartment, since the disposable 1 lb or refillable 5 lb propane tanks are safe for use and permitted indoors. NOTE: 20-pound barbecue-size propane tanks are NOT safe for use indoors. 

Recommended supplies and materials are based on the individual’s needs. If you are not sure which type of regulator (disposable or refillable) would be best for your situation, you can take the class and I will help you decide. We will be discussing the best options for you so you can be an informed consumer.  

All classes include the video recording, which you will have access to for 60 days after the class. The Zoom link, handouts, video(s), and other important information can be found by clicking on the individual class link on the "My Courses" page. The Zoom link and handout (if any) will be available 24 hours before the class starts.

You also get 1 free session of Open Studio Access (OSA) in the month following your class, the Zoom link can be found on the course video access page.
