Traditional Metal Smithing Classes

We offer basic metal smithing classes through more advanced techniques including stone setting.

In the basic classes, learn the properties of metals, the right tools for the job, which metals are best for which types of projects and so much more.

As you progress, keep adding new skills that can be incorporated into your work.

Precious Metal Clay

We offer metal clay classes to help you navigate the different types of clay and what type of projects they are good for, and learn the basics of how to work effectively with the clay. We also teach advanced techniques, including methods to combine with metal smithing and traditional stones setting techniques.
