Metals-brass, copper, bronze, and silver- can be shaped, molded, cast, cut, and altered to produce sculptural objects, jewelry, or decorative pieces. Through demonstrations and hands-on projects, this course will explore the fundamental skills and techniques in jewelry making. You will learn processes such as sawing, piercing, cold-connections, texturing, silver soldering, bezel setting, basic forming, and simple casting. Projects will allow you to make pieces of your own design. This course is essential for beginning jewelry artists, sculptors in metal, or anyone interested in working with metals.

Metal is a wonderful versatile material-you can dome it, solder it into forms, set different materials into it, cast it, and sometimes even anodize it to achieve bright colors. This course presents interesting ways to create jewelry and small objects in nonferrous metal. We will hammer metal to make a domed bracelet, cut and bend a single piece of metal to fabricate a hollow constructed ring, and add a little sparkle to a piece by setting a faceted stone in a bezel setting. We will explore simple casting, fusing, and simple hinge making, as well as color reactive metals. We also will experiment with different material to emboss into metal and an even weave a chain. Exercises will be given to practice techniques, and you will be encouraged to creatively incorporate new information into projects.
