Classes for high school students
Incorporate personal design touches as you learn or refine fundamental metalsmithing skills in this all-level jewelry-making workshop. Beginning makers will fabricate a sterling silver band ring, and a sterling silver pendant with a bezel-set stone. Students with prior experience in metalsmithing/jewelry can further develop their skills with sterling silver while fabricating a ring and earrings with tube bezel-settings for faceted stones, exploring long-format prong settings for found objects, and making a chain link bracelet. Multiple soldering and finishing techniques will be covered, and individual design is encouraged. Materials are included.
