New Technical Article: "Mary Lee Hu's Cookie Project, Made by Wei Zeng"
 SNAG's new Collaborative Technical Articles Program focuses on archiving the wealth of information within our jewelry and metalsmithing community and making it available to future generations of makers.
This inaugural collaborative article features a forming and soldering project made by Wei Zeng, following Mary Lee Hu's "Cookie Project," which Hu used to teach many beginning students during her long academic career. Forming, planishing, stick soldering, and a number of other critical skills and tips are all captured in this project. Read "Mary Lee Hu's Cookie Project, Made by Wei Zeng." |
