VIDEO TUTORIAL ON SURFACE TEXTURING FOR JEWELRY

I have always loved textures of all kinds. Using texture in your jewelry creations is a great way to add visual interest or focal points.  Texture can create contrast within your design or help give balance to you piece.  In this video tutorial I explain and demonstrate how I create texture for my jewelry creations.  You will see demonstrations using hand files, hand stamps, hammers and how I create my own texturing plates to then use in the rolling mill.

  • My PDF tutorial on "Creating Textures using a Rolling Mill" is included with this video tutorial. The link to download the pdf file can be found above the video. It is 15 pages long with written instructions and photos.
  • Below you will find a list of techniques and tools that I use throughout the video and suggestions on where to purchase them.
  • An intermediate level of metalsmithing is required for this tutorial. The video is approximately 33 minutes long.

This is a technique based and instructional tutorial where I show various ways to create original and organic  textures in your work. I do not create a finished jewelry piece. I also explain how I create texturing plates to use in the the rolling mill. When making texturing templates for the rolling mill, I always recommend making a small sample plates first.

 

After placing your purchase you will have access to the video and the pdf file. Click on the blue box in upper right hand corner of your order confirmation,  "access digital content".  (see last photo) Click on this and it will take you to a new page in LjBjewelry shop to view the video. You can also access the video from the email confirmation of your order. If you do not see your email confirmation, check your spam folder. The video tutorial is in English. 

PLEASE USE ALL SAFETY MEASURES, FACE AND EYE PROTECTION, PROPER VENTILATION WHEN OPERATING TOOLS IN YOUR STUDIO.
