Interference & Fusion Cuff

October 7 & 14, 2026 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm View in Your Timezone

Build a mixed-metal cuff while exploring two innovative techniques. Learn to anodize titanium with interference coloring for brilliant, permanent color, use resists to create layered patterns, and discover how heat fracturing and solderless fusing transform Argentium® silver into bold, organic designs. You’ll also see how titanium can reduce precious metal costs while expanding your design options. If time allows, we’ll briefly discuss flame coloring titanium.

A basic knowledge of silversmithing is recommended. Participants should be familiar with common jewelry-making tools, torch safety, and fundamental fabrication techniques such as sawing, filing, drilling, sanding, and finishing. This demonstration is designed for jewelers who want to expand their skills by incorporating anodized titanium and fused Argentium® silver into their work, whether they choose to observe or fabricate along with the demonstration.

All of our online workshops are recorded and, with purchase of the seat in the class, students have access to the recording(s) between workshop sessions as well as for 60 days after the workshop ends.
