Have you always wanted to learn to make jewelry but never had the time? If that is the case, this condensed two day exploration of beginning jewelry basics may be your ideal solution.

Students will learn to saw, anneal, solder, file, texture and finish nonferrous metals. You will also learn to bezel-set a cabochon stone. This is a great class for the beginner on the go, or for those who just need a quick refresher. No experience is necessary for this workshop.
