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! A materials fee is due at registration.
Jump into the world of jewelry design with silver precious metal clay! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to shape, texture, mold, and refine precious metal clay to create your own original jewelry pieces. Once your designs are complete, you’ll learn how to fire the pieces, transforming the clay into solid silver. You’ll then finish and polish your jewelry and take your completed pieces home with you at the end of class. No previous jewelry-making experience is necessary—just bring your creativity! A materials fee is due at registration. Closed-toe shoes are required.
