Stonybrook Metal Arts & Sculpture School

In this 5 week introductory class, students learn the fundamentals of jewelry-making to create their own wearable designs. We start with cutting, filing, soldering, polishing, and other traditional fabrication skills to make a custom sterling silver bezel-set ring. Using these skills, students then design and create a final project under the guidance of the instructor. Some materials are included, and more will be available for purchase in the studio, as needed.
