Granulation & fusing

Thanks to everyone for another great gathering! It was wonderful to see and meet some people who
have not attended lately. Miranda started us out with a great presentation on Argentium Silver, a malleable, fusible, tarnish-resistant silver alloy.

Her tips included that you shouldn’t move and quench Argentium while it is red hot, since it is too fragile. And she pointed out that she heats Argentium on a flat, smooth surface rather than on a screen because the metal will slump and take on the impression of the screen.
