Join us in crafting your very own bolita, what we lovingly refer to as a feminine bolo tie. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the basics of silversmithing while creating a sweet, personalized bolo featuring a semiprecious gemstone set in sterling silver and finished on genuine leather cord.
Workshop Details:
• Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
• Location: Frontera Jewelry Studio + Storefront
• Cost: $200 + materials
Throughout the day, you'll learn how to:
• Use a jeweler's saw
• Solder with a torch
• Fabricate your bolo setting
• Polish and finish your piece
• Securely set your stone
All skill levels are welcome! This class is open to ages 16 and older. You'll work under the close guidance of a master silversmith who will walk you through each step of the design and fabrication process.
Please Note:
• Silver and gemstones are not included in the class fee. Material costs will be paid on the day of class and typically range from $30–$100+, depending on the stone and materials you choose.
• Metalwork will remain relatively simple. Students may choose from a clean silver border, a classic sunburst design, or the addition of small silver ball accents.
• Due to the complexity of one step in the fabrication process, the final soldering step will be completed by the instructor.
Additional Information:
• Class size is limited to ensure plenty of one-on-one instruction.
• Website discount codes do not apply to workshops.
• Cancellations made at least 72 hours prior to class will receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the workshop are nonrefundable.
I'm beyond excited to teach my first bolita class and cannot wait to create alongside you. By the end of the day, you'll leave with a beautiful handcrafted bolo tie and a new set of silversmithing skills to match.
