Middle of April? Okay. If you say so. Things are humming right along in Kate Richbourg-land. I have, like 5 million irons in the fire and each project is fun and challenging at times. I feel like a sprinter that's nearing the finish line. I. am. so. close. to. finishing. Sorry about the radio silence on the blog. Those fun and challenging projects are requiring every second of my writing time.
One big project that I worked on this year (and the end of last) was a DVD set for F&W, Interweave & Craft Daily. The IW gang and I tossed around a few ideas and the one that all of us were most excited about creating was a series on portable torches for the home metalsmith. You can check out the preview here (#solderlikealady).
You can download individual lessons from the DVD on the Interweave Store website, but even better is the just-released 6-lesson DVD. I just received my copies in the mail and I have one to give away to you!

If you'd like a chance to win, leave a comment about why you'd like to #solderlikealady and I'll choose a random winner on Sunday evening. The video covers all of the portable torches that I wrote about in this post for Jewelry Making Daily along with great projects to create.
And a quick note of you are local to the Bay Area and want to get creative this weekend, I have a couple of spots left in my Metal Movement class this weekend at my studio. Check out the details here. All tools and materials provided.
Stay tuned to the blog in the coming weeks as I have more exciting news AND giveaways to share with you. Have a great weekend everybody!
Have your Simple Soldering and have taken your Craftsy class! They have both been very helpful! More information would be welcome to this lady!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the beautiful soldered pieces, so I would love to know how to do it like a lady :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn to advance my metalworking knowledge.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me the confidence to finally fire up my torch!
ReplyDeleteI hit a torch 6 months ago and am anxious to learn all that I can do with it! 😊 so far I've only soldered Sterling rings.
ReplyDeleteI really want to improve my skills and move into creating more complex pieces. I received a torch for Christmas, and it mocks me!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because your Craftsy classes convinced me that playing with fire (safely of course) is fun and rewarding. If I was available, I'd totally be in your studio learning. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Recently started playing with my micro torch again and this would really help.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally getting nice outside and I can't wait to pull my torch out ! Plus, I'd love to learn some new techniques! See you soon at the Bead and Button show
ReplyDeleteI love my torch and want to use it more! #Solderlikealady…Bring it on!! I love your classes, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI was broken hearted when I had to cancel out of your class at Bauble and Beads. I'm ready to learn from you. <3
ReplyDeleteTERESA!! You're the winner! Email me at kate richbourg at gmail dot com with your info.
DeleteWhy? Why not? I learned so much from your Craftsy classes! Time to learn more! Thanks! Wish I could join your class this weekend! You rock!
ReplyDeleteI watch you on Jewel School & marvel at every thing you make. You make it look so easy and I want to venture into this medium. The video would be extremely helpful to learn the techniques. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWould love to learn how to solder at home with your lessons. I have a torch and ceramic block, almost ready to #solderlikealady
ReplyDeleteNot sure my previous comment was recorded... I've learned so much from Kate's book and all her previous videos. I look forward to learning even more from this video.
