This entry-level jewelry making class offers students the basic techniques and building blocks of metalsmithing. During the eight-week course, you will create four projects in sterling silver, crafted like a professional metalsmith. You’ll learn layout, sawing, drilling, forging, texturing, filing, polishing, soldering, and basic stone setting, including the correct way to build a heavy bezel setting (never with bezel wire) and setting your stone with a hammer and punch.
Students learn the proper tool techniques and safety practices, allowing you to express yourself and your creativity through metal. Each session you’ll learn about more tools and techniques and be introduced to the tools and resources in a modern goldsmithing studio.
Monday evening Metal I is taught by Daniel Valencia, and Thursday morning and evening Metal I is taught by Oleg Vorobev. Saturday Metal I afternoons class is taught by Jack Hsu.
Location: 52 Ost NW, Suite 212
