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.


Youth Ages 13-17 may enroll in the course if they are enrolled with a parent or guardian. For more information, please contact the registration office.
