Learn the craft of jewelry making in these one day studio classes. Students will learn how to create either a bracelet, ring, earrings or pendant using a variety of metals including, brass, copper and silver. In the bracelet and ring class you will twist and manipulate wire to create either a triple band design for a cuff, or use wire to design a braided or twisted ring design. Covering basic metalsmithing skills, you will solder either the end caps of your bracelet or complete your ring design.

In the earrings or pendant class you will either create your own pair of silver earrings or a necklace pendant while learning basic metal smithing skills. You will file, shape and imprint with pattern plates before soldering a 1/2 bead as decorative accent (or to attach earring posts). You will drill holes and attach ear hooks, or a jump ring for a pendant to complete your project.

All levels welcome for these beginner friendly workshops!
