No experience necessary for most of our classes. Our teachers walk you through each stage of the process, giving you confidence to use the same tools, materials, and techniques used by professional jewelers. You’ll leave with more than just a new piece of jewelry. Bring home new skills, hands-on experience, and a deeper appreciation for the craft.
About Our Classes
Our classes cover a wide range of techniques, designed for beginners as well as those looking to refine their skills. Most classes are open to a wide range of ages and experience levels. Class fee includes all materials needed for the class.
Class projects include bezel-set rings, wire-formed earrings, chainmaille designs, hand-stamped pieces, and so much more. Each class focuses on a specific techniques needed to achieve a specific project, allowing you to leave with a completed piece that reflects your effort and attention to detail.
Most classes run from a hours to a full day. Our Carve it Cast it Wear it class spans two full days and introduces you to the art of lost wax casting from wax carving to finished sterling silver piece.
All classes are fully hands-on. You’ll handle tools, shape materials, and see how each step directly impacts your final piece.
