Bring your metalwork to life—layer by folded layer.
In this immersive class, students will explore how to build depth, shadow, and striking dimension using folded and raised metal components.
Whether you choose to craft a bold ring or an eye-catching pendant, you’ll learn how to create focal pieces that rise—literally and artistically—off the surface.
Through thoughtful layering and structural shaping, we’ll dive into techniques that turn flat sheet into sculptural forms, adding visual interest and a sense of movement to your work.
This project is all about giving your designs a new point of view—elevated, expressive, and anything but flat.
Come ready to fold, form, and rise.
A tiny bell that rings with joy.
In this hands-on metalsmithing class, students will create their own Scandinavian-style bell charms—small, wearable pieces inspired by Nordic folk art and clean, timeless design.
These miniature bells actually ring and are full of personality, making them a perfect mix of form and function.
You’ll learn to fabricate a small bell using sterling silver, cut and shape decorative motifs, and assemble the pieces into a dimensional charm with sound and movement.
Whether worn as a pendant, added to a bracelet, or gifted to someone special, each bell tells its own story.
This is a playful, approachable project with a beautiful result—and a great way to expand your metalsmithing skill set in a joyful, creative setting.
Let it ring!
Fabricate an EYE-catching clasp that radiates good energy.
Give your jewelry designs a meaningful finishing touch in this six-hour metalsmithing class focused on creating a handcrafted clasp with both function and symbolism.
Inspired by the classic fisheye hook clasp, Watchful Eye offers a fresh new interpretation, transforming a traditional closure into a striking focal element.
Students will fabricate an eye-shaped clasp that serves as both secure fastening and wearable talisman.
Across many cultures, the evil eye is believed to offer protection, ward off negativity, and reflect harmful energy away from the wearer.
In this class, that ancient symbol meets modern metalsmithing in a design that is elegant, bold, and rich with story.
Techniques will include designing, sawing, shaping, soldering, filing, refining, and assembly.
Because precision sawing is central to the project, students must be comfortable using a jeweler’s saw and working independently with somewhat detailed cuts.
Upon completion, you’ll have a handcrafted clasp ready to incorporate into your own necklaces or bracelets, along with new skills to create jewelry closures worthy of being the star of the piece.
This is a technique-driven three-hour class focused on creating decorative forged links.
A true celebration of slow-made beauty.
Students will learn how to form, forge, shape, and connect elegant custom links that can stand beautifully on their own or pair perfectly with the Watchful Eye clasp class.
Designed to be both skill-building and enjoyable, this class offers a relaxed pace where repetition becomes rhythm and each connection adds to your confidence.
Students may create as many links as time allows, giving you the option to build components for a bracelet, begin a necklace, or gather pieces for future designs.
You’ll also learn a few of my favorite unconventional tricks for adding the playful ball details, proof that some jewelry magic is far easier than it appears. Wink wink.
Whether taken as a companion class or enjoyed on its own, Forged Connections is a satisfying way to expand your chain-making skills and leave with beautiful handmade elements ready for your next piece.
Note: This class follows “Watchful Eye: a protective clasp class.”
Take both classes together and leave with all the components for a fully completed piece!
Metalsmithing meets modern wearable design.
In Contoured Cuff, students will learn how to create a contemporary cuff bracelet that combines sterling silver with flat leather for a finished piece that is as comfortable as it is striking.
This is not your typical rigid cuff that sits unworn in a drawer.
This is one you’ll reach for again and again.
Throughout the workshop, students will explore techniques for sawing, shaping, refining, and forming sterling silver into a curved centerpiece designed to follow the natural shape of the wrist.
You’ll also learn how to measure, cut, and assemble leather cuff material, then complete the project with a clean and functional button rivet closure.
Inspired by Scandinavian textile motifs and quilt-like geometry, this project offers a wonderful balance of structure, softness, and style.
Along the way, we’ll discuss design choices, fit, finishing details, and construction tips that can be applied to future jewelry projects.
This class is ideal for students who enjoy learning new techniques, working with mixed materials, and leaving with fresh skills plus a finished bracelet made by hand.
Expect a fun, supportive environment and a project you’ll be proud to wear.
