SUMMER 2005
-
Metalsmithing Studio Classes |
All levels
Fabrication
Learn how to work in silver, gold, copper, and brass to create handcrafted
jewelry and other decorative or functional objects. In these classes, you will
develop the skills and techniques necessary to take your designs from concept to
completion. Beginning students are introduced to the equipment, torches, and
tools in the studio, and will focus on learning the basics: cutting, sawing,
texturing, shaping, soldering, fusing, filing, sanding, grinding, and polishing.
Students advance at their own pace, and instruction is individualized as you
progress to more complex design and construction techniques.
