In this course, students will learn everything they need to know to create beautiful sterling and mixed metal jewelry! Learn how to shape, cut, pierce, solder and finish metals to create simple projects such as hammered silver rings, dangle earrings and tri-colored metal pendants. Marla Mencher offers demonstrations in varying smithing techniques and spends one-on-one time with students to develop their own unique designs. In the first few weeks of class, students can expect to finish a few completed beginner projects and gain experience using a wide variety of tools and machinery in the Art League's state of the art metal smithing studio. Bring a small pad, pencil, black marker and small plastic box or container for your projects. Material fee of $60 payable to instructor.
