Starts March 23rd (Mondays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for six weeks.)
Expand your knowledge in this experimental intermediate series. Use your skills and knowledge from Beginner Metalsmithing and explore your ideas further in the direction of more advanced jewelry making. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN SKETCHBOOK AND PENCIL. NOTE: In this Intermediate series, students will provide their own materials and can work in copper, brass, bronze, and/or sterling silver. A link to a recommended materials list can be found below or you can bring in materials you already own.
FYI: Due to the high cost of silver from the metals market fluctuation in 2026, we recommend you purchase less expensive metals, such as brass or copper to practice the techniques covered in this series.
Students will make:
- 1 pair of earrings
- 1 ring with bezel set stone
- 1 pendant with bezel set stone
- 2 independent study projects (project of your choice with what you have learned)
Please note: It is important that students have basic metalsmithing knowledge, either through the beginner 6-week metalsmithing course at Artascope or a comparable class.
NOTE: There will be no materials kit for this intermediate class. Be prepared to bring in your own materials OR use this recommended supply list to purchase materials via Rio Grande prior to the first class.
Additional materials such as copper, brass, and silver will be available for purchase on an “as needed” basis directly from the instructor via Venmo, CASH, or credit card.
Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200.
Open to adults only.
