JEWELRY DESIGN
Pulse Arc Welding for Jewelers: Less Soldering. More Creating.
By Corkie Bolton
Description:
(including techniques & materials): Pulse arc welding is an innovative tool
that allows jewelers to create with less soldering, less cleanup, and more efficiency at
the bench. In this workshop, Corkie will demonstrate the basics of using a Sunstone
pulse arc welder for common jewelry applications—such as jump ring closing,
attaching posts, resizing, and small repairs. Participants will learn how this technology
can expand design possibilities, save time, and reduce reliance on traditional
soldering. A Q&A session will follow the demonstration to help attendees understand
how pulse arc welding can fit into their own studio practice.

Special Notes or requirements: Safety glasses will be provided. Please bring a
notebook if you’d like to take notes.
