Hold Everything! Workholding Solutions for Makers


You have a firm grasp of the techniques and materials used in your craft, now if only you could hold onto that darn piece you’re working on! Whether you’re a metalsmith, jeweler, or maker in another medium, secure workholding is just as essential as technical skills. Without the tools and knowhow to properly stabilize your piece, even the best techniques can fall short.

In this demonstration-format class, you’ll be introduced to an extensive collection of tools and strategies—from simple homemade solutions to specialized professional equipment—that make forming, filing, soldering, stone setting, and finishing more efficient, accurate, and enjoyable. Best of all, many of these strategies increase accessibility at the bench, allowing people of all abilities to work more comfortably, even with conditions like tendonitis or limited grip strength.

This one-of-a-kind workshop will give you a toolkit of solutions to hold any- and every- thing, so you can focus on making your best work possible.
