Since 1998 we at PMWest/Fine Gold who run Kraftwerks strive to preserve and disseminate the "best of the best" jewelry craft techniques in a fully operational factory and gold refinery.
This is the Kraftwerks Invitational Jewelry Manufacturing Seminar Series, where we invite some of the jewelry world's finest to share and teach certain rare skills that otherwise might be lost to the trade through retirement or life's changes. Those wonderful methods must then be painstakingly reinvented and perfected.
The difference from other seminars is our "Flame On" approach to the information. Not PowerPoint, not slides or video-It's real. The "Kraftmasters" actually demonstrate their skills with the tools appropriate. Whatever it might be from a real hydrogen casting torch to a casting machine, to the anvil and tree stump-You see it actually happen.
Daniel is talking to potential Kraftmasters as you read this.
What would we all like to see in 2009?
950 Platinum and 950 Palladium Casting is being arranged.
The list will fill in as time passes. Be sure to check back here from time to time.
We offer a friendly torch or furnace "flame on" factory environment.

Christian Tse shares exactly how to make platinum wire by hand.
As a special Kraftwerks added event....
We have the "BRAINSTORM BAR & BBQ" which is just the best dinner and cocktail party you can find. We have this dinner right inside our factory. Past years have shown just how helpful it is to gather lots of premier talent under one roof, feed them, get them an adult beverage or two, and just let the great ideas and inspiration flow like water. Attendees often bring their most vexing jewelry making problems and send them round the bar for ideas on solutions. Casting, setting, designing, regulatory issues, safety issues all gets addressed at the BRAINSTORM BAR AND BBQ.
