Building upon foundational metalsmithing techniques, this class will elevate your existing skills and inspire you to tackle more advanced jewelry projects. We will cover bezel setting for faceted gemstones, saw piercing, soldering techniques, and finishing. Students will move through assigned projects, including a pair of sterling silver “diamond” earrings (or two pendants), but there will be plenty of room for design creativity. Be prepared to learn tips and tricks that will advance your jewelry making to the next level!
Please note: It is important that students have basic metalsmithing knowledge, either through the beginner 6-week metalsmithing course at Artascope or a comparable class.
Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200.
Fee does not include materials. Supply kit is available from the instructor for $35 when series begins. Additional supplies are available to purchase separately as needed for class projects.
