About

Electro-etching is a fabulous low-tech and low-cost way to add design and dimension to a flat sheet of metal. You'll choose a design from a selection provided, transfer it to copper sheet, etch the metal (re-purposed phone chargers are involved - very cool!), cut out your earrings or pendant, and dome your pieces before finishing them. Side effects will almost certainly include: many compliments on your new jewelry, and addiction to the art of electro-etching! 

Beginners welcome.

A materials fee of $20 for sheet copper and wire sterling will be added to the cost of class when you register.

Bring a bag lunch. We have a refrigerator for people to store their lunches and drinks!
