Jewelry and Metalsmithing Classes

Our jewelry and metalsmithing studios offer a comprehensive and creative space for artists of all levels. Each studio is fully outfitted, eliminating the need for students to purchase tools or equipment – only their metals. This well-equipped and supportive environment is perfect for anyone looking to experience the art of jewelry making.

• Learn the basics of jewelry making – such as soldering using acetylene torches, piercing, finishing, forming, forging, and bezel stone setting – to create earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and more.
• Level up your skills in advanced classes that dive deeper into jewelry fabrication methods and techniques and challenge you to further develop your design instincts.
• Explore the art of lampworking. Work with oxygen and propane to create your very own unique flamework glass beads.
• Delve into another facet of jewelry making through metal clay. Form and texture pieces such as earrings, pendants and rings then place into a kiln. Through the firing process, the clay burns away, leaving stunning fine silver jewelry pieces.
