Create wearable jewelry pieces from carved wood and fabricated metal components. Students will carve wooden forms using hand and machine operations, and set them into jewelry work using traditional metalsmithing techniques. The first few weeks of this class will focus on carving wooden forms, while the second half will focus on fabricating metal to set and wear them. Each individual will walk away with 2-3 finished pieces.

  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
  • All materials are provided. Students are always welcome to bring their own beads and objects to the class. Students may also bring their own sterling wire.
