During this three day course you will discover how easy it is to granulate and fuse this innovative metal under the guidance of renowned Argentium Silver specialist Cynthia Eid. Argentium Sterling (AS) is an alloy that is more than 92.5% pure silver; it does not firescale, is highly tarnish resistant, is more malleable and ductile than traditional sterling. It fuses and welds more easily than traditional sterling and can be hardened using a kitchen oven or kiln. Because the germanium in the alloy makes AS conduct heat differently than Sterling Silver, annealing, soldering, and hardening will be demonstrated in

addition to granulation and fusing.

Demonstrations will include using a torch to fuse gold granules to AS sheet and wire. Argentium Sterling is also a wonderful material to use for Keum Boo, (an Asian gilding technique used to apply thin sheets of 24K gold to silver with heat and pressure) since the surface doesn’t need to be heated and pickled as extensively as traditional sterling prior to application of the gold foil.

Demonstrations will alternate with hands-on practice time.

Participants may choose to practice on samples, or to create finished designs. Students with basic and metalsmithing skills,

as well as professionals, are welcome.

Cynthia Eid is an internationally recognised jeweller and silversmith with over forty years of experience. She has been working with Argentium Silver since 1999, and is the author of The Technical Guide to Argentium Sterling used by Rio Grande, as well as articles published by the Society of North American Goldsmiths and Art Jewelry magazine.
