In this 5 day workshop, students will learn the basics of metalsmithing. Using copper and brass metal sheets, students will learn to use a torch to soften and stamp metal. These stamped pieces can be personalized with words, numbers, and designs. Using a handsaw, students will learn the art of hand-piercing to create cut-out designs of their choosing that can be turned into charms, pendants, and earrings. We will learn to shape metal to create ring forms, cuff bracelets, and linked necklaces. Students will also use tooling metal sheet to create a 2D art piece as they learn the art of metal embossing. All levels welcome. Students can expect to learn a wide range of metalsmithing techniques and create jewelry as well as small-scale sculptures.

All materials provided. Please wear natural fiber fabrics and closed-toe shoes. Please bring lunch & snacks for this all day course.
