Find your own “blue”
Make a unique piece of jewelry using metal crafts.
Hello, this is Beon Hye-jin from the jewelry brand 'Bluedope'. I started out metal craft as a hobby, but it became my career and I have been running a brand and a workshop for 5 years now. I also met many students in offline classes, and I really enjoyed watching both those who buy my work and those who make their own work in the class find their inner "Blue".
Now I want to introduce that process to more people through online classes. If you follow Bluedope's metal craft guide step by step, you will learn a variety of techniques and complete a piece of jewelry that fits your taste.
Beginners Welcome!
In this class, we mainly focus on using fire to make jewelry so that it is easy for those who are new to metal crafts. You will be able to make various designs without professional equipment and without sawing. All you will need is a few simple tools.
I'll give you a detailed guide so that you can use the fire safely and with minimum mistakes. Having taught offline classes for a long time, I have a good understanding of what beginners find most difficult and why they make mistakes and get hurt. So don't worry. I'll teach you in depth based on that experience.
Using fire will help you combine the pieces firmly and create various designs you imagined.
Let’s Practice Several Times With Plenty of Materials.
In the kit, you will find 1.5 times more amount of materials you need for each project. Everyone will take this class at a different pace. I included plenty of materials enough for you to practice sufficiently to create your own design.
As you practice and repeat the techniques you've learned over and over again, you'll gradually find yourself making fewer mistakes and improving the quality of your work.
We'll also explain where you can buy additional ingredients and tips on how to buy according to your preferences. You won't stop making jewelry even after you've completed the class.
Turn mistakes and leftover materials into artwork too.
If you work hard in class, there will be a lot of silver you have accidentally melted or leftover materials. It's a shame to waste these!
No need to be disappointed because if you take a closer look, small leftover parts of melted silver can also be a wonderful design. The class will also teach you tips on how to use silver that has been melted by mistake.
Put aside your worries and fears for a moment. Let's start with the hope that we'll meet a wonderful work created by chance.
You'll be able to create jewelry that embellishes your “blue.”
It can be difficult to easily create the design you want only by soldering silver. However, through the soft wax work process that you learn at the end of the class, anyone can easily bring out the design they have in mind.
I'll explain in detail the process of creating a shape using soft wax and an alcohol lamp. Also, we will be happy to share the detailed techniques and tips necessary to make the design you have imagined.
Be creative! Make designs only you can think of!
I hope this class will be an opportunity for more people to be inspired.
Bluedope will help you find
The perfect jewelry for you

Information on casting vouchers
📍 What is casting?
The process of making a jewelry shape with a material called “wax,” and then melting the wax to turn it into silver is called casting. If you soak the shaped wax in a gypsum mold to harden the gypsum and then apply heat, the wax melts and creates an empty space, and if you pour silver into it to harden it, it will change to silver as you designed it! Since this process is difficult to carry out in a typical home or workshop, I will entrust this process to a house specializing in casting.
Classmates' work must be shipped to Bluedorf for casting work.
Box and packing materials included in the kitIf you send it in a safe package using, we will send it back to you after the casting process.
Please consult with a Bluedoff Plus friend before delivery of the cast item and use it with reliable guidance.
For the price of the kit, I finished working at Bluedoff Includes only the amount of one one-way delivery to be re-shippedIt's supposed to be.
For my classmates When sending work to Bluedopro, the shipping fee must be prepaid You have to do it.
More detailed instructions for casting tickets will be explained in the video and lesson notes.

Living the way you love
Hello. My name is Beon Hye-jin. I run the jewelry brand 'Bluedope'. I wanted to carve out my own path rather than just following the path someone had created.
I started out metal craft as a hobby, but it became my career and I have been running a brand and a workshop for 5 years now:)
I don't think it's easy to find a job you like and are good at. But I don't think there's anything as good as the experience to know what you like and what you're good at.
I hope my class will be a great inspiration to many people. In the class I have prepared, I will teach you the basic techniques of metal craft and give you my own design know-how that you can use and modify.
I hope taking this class will be an experience where you can get to know your what you love:)
