Here’s your chance to access the Metals Studio!

If you participated in a Metals class in 2024/2025 you can “buy time” in the Metals Studio. You do not have to be registered in a 6-week class to register for Open Studio, but it is expected that you will work within your skill set. A minimum of Jewelry/Metals 1 or Dept permission is required.

A Studio Advisor is available for guidance.
Participants are responsible for proper tool use, care, and clean-up. Participants must have experience using the studio's specialized equipment, some of which include: air/acetylene torches, a rolling mill, a hydraulic press, an electro-etching system, polishing/finishing equipment, lapidary machines, etc.

We reserve the right to restrict the use of equipment if it is used improperly and no refund will be issued. We reserve the right to limit consumable consumption.


No materials or supplies are provided, but basic supplies such as solder, saw blades, metal, and stone, etc. may be available for purchase. There is no access to other Studios during this time* Participants should complete clean-up within the 3 hour block. No refund or credit is given for time not used.
