Spend five days experimenting with making jewelry. Through soldering, cold connections and basic metal fabrication (incl. bending, filing, piercing, & drilling), students will learn how to make one-of-a-kind work to wear home!

Try your hand at different techniques; using the hydraulic press to create volume, resin inlay for coloring and bezel making to add stones or found objects. Come with ideas and finish up with a treasure trove of handmade jewelry.
