PlusI really enjoyed Maria's fresh approach to designing jewellery. I have been making silver jewellery for about 4 years, as a hobby, and still found many tips for working with sheet metal. I especially found the patina recipes very interesting - this has inspired me to look at brass and copper differently. I look forward to applying the techniques and doing something different.

Muy buen curso, interesantes opciones, algunas técnicas eran desconocidas para mí a pesar de ser joyera, me encantaría saber qué se puede usar para sellar en lugar de la laca sapón y la cera JAX, ninguna de las dos se consiguen en México.
