What is the Jewelry Area?
This category includes pages that talk about jewelry whether or not metalsmithing is involved.
The Jewelry Studio is a fully functional studio for jewelry/metalsmithing. Weekly classes, weekend workshops and private instruction is available.
The metalsmithing and jewelry area is shared with the hot glass working area, so be sure to check the class schedule for jewelry and work to ensure the area is available for use.
The Jewelry area provides tools to fabricate jewelry (embellishment and adornment), sculpture, and practical objects.
