Metalsmithing for Beginners Tuesday 6-week Artist Series
Starts September 22nd (Tuesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for six weeks.)
Learn the basics of jewelry metalsmithing in a fun, relaxed atmosphere–no prior experience required. Each class will introduce tools and techniques to include hammering, soldering, and riveting, as well as ways to shape and texture metal. Class projects include a hammered cuff, fold-formed leaves and simple soldered rings as well as samples to inspire individual creativity and ways to customize projects. This series will also include important information on tool & equipment safety. A class overview can be emailed upon request.
Materials are not included in the class price. The estimated $35* materials supply kit can be purchased directly from the instructor. The required kit includes brass and copper in various sizes of wire and sheet, one piece of sterling silver for a ring and some other materials to experiment with.
*NOTE: This is an approximate cost and actual kit cost may be different due to the metals market fluctuation in 2026.
Optional: A selection of sterling silver wire and ready-made bezels and stones is available for additional purchase from the instructor (not required for class projects).
6-week Series Cost – Non-members: $300 for 6 weeks. Members: $240.
Open to adults only. Please contact us directly if you are interested in seeing metalsmithing options for teens.
