Create your own metal realities in jewelry: A ring, earrings, a pin, a pendant, a bracelet or even a chain. Set a stone. Wear your own creation!
Course Experience:
Our Metalsmithing course will introduce students to a full range of basic and, later, more advanced metalsmithing techniques. Besides design techniques, there will be a review of tools and equipment needed, safety practices, and the proper way to use the tools.
Course Construction/ Fabrication Techniques: • Creating without heat, creating with heat, and stone setting.
• Sawing, filing, sanding, polishing, twisting, riveting, drilling, hammering, shaping, soldering, bezel creation and stone setting. • Various custom treatments will be discussed.
