Renegade Metalsmithing
BEAUTIFUL + BOLD, JUST LIKE YOU
The renegade jewelry class offers a more in-depth dive into some metal smithing techniques. Learn stamping, punching, wire wrapping and forming, and rivets. The earrings (or pendant) you will create are a bold and fun to wear statement piece.
fused
glass
Plan to spend about two hours at the open studio. You can pick your project. We will help you create a fused glass sun catcher, ornament or jewelry piece, your choice. You will cut and assemble your glass fragments into a one of a kind design. We will then fire your piece in our glass kiln up to temperatures of 1450 degrees where your glass will fuse into one piece of art. You will be able to pick up your artwork the following week.
