METALS STUDIO CLASSES
 

The Metals Studio provides both beginning and advanced students with an ideal setting for learning, expanding, and perfecting the skills and techniques involved with designing and creating art in both ferrous and nonferrous metals.  Our instructors bring many years of experience and training to assist students of all levels.  Decorative and functional objects can be crafted – from vessels, boxes, flatware, knives, and serving pieces – to bracelets, rings, pendants, chains, and brooches. Both beginning students and professionals seeking to advance their level of craft will find guidance and inspiration at The Craft Guild of Dallas.

Students will learn how to safely operate all equipment relating to their interests, and need only provide their own consumable supplies, such as metals and stones, saw blades, flex shaft attachments, and personal hand tools.
