Introduction to Platinum (in person or online)

Platinum is a beautiful metal- it's strong, durable, and polishes to a beautiful high shine. Platinum is a great choice for those who like the color of silver, but want something more durable. It is also low in reactivity for those with allergies, making it a great choice for those forever pieces. This class teaches how to do basic fabrication with platinum, cleaning, polishing, and stone setting. It's the perfect place to start if you are curious about working with this metal or wanting to incorporate platinum elements with other metals. Tuesdays, June 30, 2026 - July 7, 2026; 10:00AM - 1:00PM PT (Pacific Time)
