This is a great class to start your jewelry-making pursuit, or a fine class to repeat to gain more skills and have more time to practice! Learn the basics of creating jewelry from copper, brass and silver sheet and wire. You’ll learn sawing, forging, polishing and all the basics to create handcrafted jewelry with your own personal style. Metal is provided for beginning projects, and other metal is available for purchase during class (copper and brass metal sheets are under $10 each.) Tools are provided or you may bring your own. We take a max of 6 students in the class, and the course is open to ages 14 through adult. Masks and social distancing are required in this and all Sawtooth classes.
