Metalworking is an ancient technique that predates Egyptian times. Few materials have metal’s longevity, malleability, and rich history. From small-scale, intimate objects such as hardware, flatware, and jewelry to large-scale sculpture, architecture, and modes of transportation, metal surrounds us in different forms.

Students gain an understanding of its historical and contemporary uses and learn the specialized techniques -- sawing, texturing, forming, torch soldering, finishing, and more -- involved in transforming wire and sheets of metal into original works of art.

They develop an individual aesthetic approach with an underlying conceptual base, successfully communicating their ideas through well-designed, sophisticated pieces of jewelry or sculpture.

Jewelry / Metal Arts is an all-day studio.
