Unleash your creativity and craft intricate designs with the timeless beauty of metals. Elevate your skills and learn the art of metalworking in a supportive and engaging environment. Discover the secrets of transforming raw materials into stunning handcrafted pieces under expert guidance.
In this beginning level jewelry making class, learn the basic techniques of metalsmithing. During the eight week course you will create a minimum of four professionally finished projects (for example, rings, earrings, pendants or bracelets) in sterling silver while learning layout, sawing, forging, texturing, filing, polishing, soldering, and basic stone setting. You will learn the correct way to build a heavy bezel setting, and to set the stone in your heavy bezel with a hammer and punch.
Bezel wire is NEVER used at Jewelryclassdc, all bezels are handmade, and heavy.
Learn the proper tool techniques and safety practices which will allow you to express yourself artistically in metal.
Beginning students receive precise direction but are provided with the opportunity to utilize their creativity. You will be introduced to all the wonderful tools in a modern goldsmithing studio and each week’s session will increase your tool skills and knowledge.
Students should not wear loose clothing and should be able to tie their hair back.
