Metalsmithing Basics
November 8 - Forge, file, saw and shape
Workshop Description
This class introduces the essential techniques and tools used in jewelry making. You'll learn how to saw, file, drill, texture, and form metal sheet and wire into your very own jewelry design! This beginner-friendly workshop is focused on learning hand tools and cold connection methods like tabs and rivets. We will be working in brass and copper, which is perfect for beginners. By the end of the class, you'll complete your first piece of handmade jewelry to take home and treasure! Be sure to bring your reading glasses and wear closed-toed shoes for safety. All materials are included, unless the student decides to add stones to their design, which can be purchased in-class. This class is a full day class with a one hour lunch break.
