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 14-17 may enroll in this course if they enroll with a parent/guardian. Parent/guardian must notify the registration office via email at wccregistration@worcester.edu.
