Awesome class! Detailed steps and love the finished product. It was also my first time using a torch and soldering - so the pre-requisites classes were a must.

Outstanding class! I wish I'd taken this call when I first started soldering. It explains and shows everything for the beginner. I enjoyed her demonstration on how to create a bail with wire, if I already didn't know how. Kate is very patient and has a nice, even methodical way of speaking/teaching and goes into great detail to demonstrate step by step what she's doing. I REALLY enjoy her classes and ALL Beaducation classes. I'd like to see more soldering classes for intermediate and advance students.

I love this instructor!I've watched many of her classes and she is always very thorough. Very practical advice on cleaning, too. I did't start soldering for many years because I don't like using harsh chemicals, but Penny Brite sounds like an option for me.

P.S.
As always, Kate does a fantastic job of explaining the steps necessary to create this pendant! She gives very easy to follow directions and she is very clear. Kate makes it look easy and makes me feel I will be successful with this project.
