Showcase your individual style by transforming sterling silver in this memorable and unique hands-on introductory class experience. Designed for beginners, this course covers essential techniques such as sawing, filing, soldering, texturing, and finishing metals such as copper and sterling silver. Based in artisanal craftsmanship, students will learn how to safely use hand tools and torches while creating their own unique jewelry or small metal objects. Through guided instruction and individual practice, you’ll complete a finished piece and gain the foundational skills needed for more advanced metalwork.
