Jump into the world of jewelry design with bronze precious metal clay! In this class you’ll learn to use molding tools and basic forming techniques to create a truly original piece. Once the design is complete, we’ll lay your project in one of our kilns to harden it into a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry!
Make a beautiful piece of jewelry from start to finish. The first class will explore lapidary: cutting, forming, and polishing raw rock into a shape of your choosing. The second class will cover silversmithing and mounting that stone in a silver frame, essential for adding it to a ring or necklace. This is a truly unique and diverse experience!
Enhance your evening with a jewelry Maker Date. Enjoy beer, wine, and lite fare while you and your date work with precious metal clay, a material that allows you to easily sculpt forms our of metal. Once your form is ready it will get placed into the kiln and the clay will bake away to reveal your one-of-a-kind bronze creation. Tuition fee covers one individual; you must register each person attending.
Advance your silversmithing skills and let that silver shine! We will cut, shape, and join metal with hammer and flame, and other various tools. Topics such as bezel setting and honing your soldering skills will be covered. Walk out blingin’ in your silver jewelry.
