Soldering is great fun and opens up a whole new world in jewellery making, but sometimes it's just as great to use materials that don't stand the heat! That's where rivets come in - a cold connection technique that holds layers of a jewellery design together without the need for a blowtorch.

This is the first class in a series that will teach you all you need about riveting. We'll start with simple wire rivets that I will use to hold pretty silver flowers firmly in place on smooth wooden beads - however you could use them to layer copper onto brightly coloured acrylic, patterned pieces cut from a recycled biscuit tin onto silver or leather and metal. The only limit is your imagination and riveting is a great way of using upcycled materials!
Future classes in the series will take you through how to add two perfect rivets, how and when to use one or more decorative rivets and also rivets made from tube. More videos with extra projects to help you practice your new skills will then follow!
