Let us show you around.

JewelryClassDC is the best-equipped metalsmithing studio in the DC metro area. Though classes are kept to ten students for personalized instruction, we have a total of 28 professionally-outfitted goldsmithing benches. Every student, whether you’re taking a one-day workshop, an eight-week class, or participating in a 12-month extended study session, you will sit at a professionally equipped jeweler’s bench. With a complete forging setup and smelting station, your workspace will be surrounded by an incredible collection of vintage metalsmithing tools and art. There is simply no better place to study jewelry making in DC.

Every one of our 26 benches is a fully-outfitted goldsmith bench—you’ll never wait for a tool. With 26 professional benches (and class sizes of 10 or fewer), every student has access to a fully-outfitted workspace. Here’s a snapshot of the tools we offer.
