About

Whether you're new to the craft or need a refresher, here's a way to get started in the Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio. 

Through instructor demonstration and hands-on practice, you’ll learn the skills that you need to begin working in our studio as well prepare for future classes. Those skills include:

• Cutting metal using a jeweler’s saw, step shear, bench shear, and disk and shape cutters.
• Texturing metal using stamps, hammers, and the rolling mill.
• Drilling using the drill press and flex shaft.
• Forming using dapping blocks and punches.
• Finishing using files, belt sander, and grinder. 

You'll receive a notebook that includes detailed information on the tools, equipment, and procedures that are covered in the class.

After completing the class, you will be able to attend Jewelry Open Studio sessions to practice what you’ve learned (5 - 8 PM Mondays and 1 - 4 PM Wednesdays).
