This is for the student with experience using all essential jewelry bench tools and techniques and is ready for more challenging projects. This Intermediate metalsmithing class will incorporate techniques such as hinges, tube setting, cabochon, and basic prong setting projects. Many students have been coming to this class for years, and many things have been covered, including crushed stone inlay, small metal sculptures, flush setting, simple prong setting of cabochons, and hollow forms. We cannot cover all these techniques in 6 weeks, but you will advance your skill set. Though we incorporate stones in many projects, we do not always incorporate stones into our projects. Many students continue year-round in this class and enjoy making fun pieces they are proud of. The class runs for 6 weeks.
