Beginning students will explore the fundamentals of working with metal to make jewelry and small objects. Learn basic techniques such as sawing, piercing, filing, disc cutting, dapping, doming and finishing. This class will also introduce students to techniques such as soldering, metal forming and basic construction. Students will begin to develop skills and personal creativity through instructor-guided projects that focus on design and execution. Each student will be encouraged to complete two to three pieces while becoming more proficient with the materials, tools, studio equipment, and safety practices. This class is also great for previous entry-level students who would like additional instruction and support.

Melanie Atherton
From a young age, I knew that I wanted to be an artist. However, it wasn’t until recently I knew what that meant for me. Born and raised on the south coast of Massachusetts, I received my BFA in Jewelry & Metals (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth) after bouncing around for quite a bit. In the years prior to receiving my BFA, I dabbled in many mediums from industrial design to painting. I also received my MFA in Visual Arts. (Vermont College of Fine Arts)If you would have told me ten years ago that I would become a professional metalsmith, I may have laughed. Both of my parents were metalsmiths having originally met while in school together. Unfortunately, neither are practicing. That’s why it is sort of bizarre that I have landed here. However, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My education as well as my personal experiences have undoubtedly led me to where I am today, and I can’t wait to see where this journey will take me. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your creative journey as well!
