Beginners Guide To Annealing

When starting out making jewellery, whether it be in Silver, Gold or Copper, you will find that your metal gets harder the more you bend, hit, roll it. This is called work hardening. You need to return the metal to its original state and so you have to anneal it.

This films shows you how to anneal properly. Over heat the metal and you may have trouble later on.
