That metal WILL do your bidding! Learn the basic methods of manipulating copper and other non-ferrous metals. We will be hammering, coaxing, bending, torching and more hammering. This is an ongoing class where beginners start by learning raising, sinking, planishing and progress through increasingly technical skills usually led by artistic whim. Demonstrations will rotate through the class and new skills will be added each month. Urban Metal provides the tools and the know how. You bring your ideas and a willing spirit. Purchase materials in class or bring your own.

Interested in stretching your artistic imagination? This lost wax casting class will provide a changing variety of projects using both wax and found objects (anything that can burn away at 1250 degrees Fahrenheit). This could include plastics and organics like leaves, twigs, dead scorpions and the like. Limited to jewelry scale or small sculptural objects. Open for beginners to advanced artists.

This is an ongoing beginning skills class that you can join at any time. The focus covers shaping, sawing, filing, soldering and finishing. You will make a variety of projects like rings, bracelets, earrings, cabochon setting and more while building your jewelry vocabulary. Keep in mind that four weeks is not a comprehensive beginning class. If interested, you may sign up again and have different projects building new and different skills.

All tools required are provided for your use in class. Materials are available for purchase during class.
