Anne Nishioka
Stockton, CA. USA
I am a fellow lapidarian who has done some cabbing, lot’s of beading
(since 2000), some silver smithing as well as a lot of lost wax
casting. Learned how to steam cast making my own kiln using a flower
pot covered with heavy duty tin foil and an electric hot plate. The
steam is created using a tuna can with wet paper towels. Map gas is
used to melt the silver. I think there is directions somewhere on
line.

I am a musician that has been watching my girlfriend make jewelry
for a while and now wants to create the stones used in this process.
No, I’m not good with solder and have been told by both of my ex
wives to leave sharp instruments and hot things alone.
