Learn the basics of metalsmithing – sawing, texturing, soldering, forming, and stone setting. Students will learn the basic foundational skills of metalsmithing using copper sheet and brass wire. We will explore the techniques through projects including earrings, bracelets, pendants, and rings. Students will also learn how to make jump rings.

Completed pieces include – a sawing/internal sawing project, a hammer texture or forming project, a layered soldered piece, and the final project is a sterling silver ring or pendant with a gemstone.
