About this class

Join the multi-talented and always inspiring Robert Dancik as he teaches innovative techniques to cold connect all types of materials.

Watch step-by-step as Robert reveals the process for perfect-fitting rivets to connect a variety of materials from metal, fabric, glass and polymer clay. Pre-made rivets look alike but handmade rivets can be fashioned of any metal giving you more creative possibilities with your cold connections.

Riveting techniques not only allow you to join different metals and non-metal elements but it is also one of the best and strongest ways of incorporating found objects into any piece.

In addition to all this – Robert will cover how to COLD set stones including faceted, cabochon, and irregularly shaped stone. No soldering needed.

If you’ve been wondering how to incorporate all those wonderful found elements into your work, Robert will show you how-to add “tabs” both inside and out, so you can set any odd shaped collectible element.

Cold Connections is a great way to connect materials that can’t be heated.

Plus learn the possibilities cold connections can add to your overall design.

Covered in this class: rivets, tabs, prongs, folds, micro-fasteners and much more.
