 Silversmithing isn't typically a self-taught hobby. The best way to start is with an introductory class that lets you get your hands on the metal and tools.  In this class you’ll be working with sterling silver, solder, bezels, and gemstones to create a complete pendant on a 16” chain.

We’ll go over the techniques and tools of the trade as you learn to design, measure, cut, file, solder, and set a stone. During the creating process, you’ll be practicing the fundamental skills necessary to make jewelry. 

We’ll take a lunch break so please bring a lunch and drink. No loose scarves or flowing sleeves please. Bring your magnifying glasses if needed for close work.
