Not at all. This course is open to all levels, whether you’ve never have prior crafting or art background. We will guide you through everything from the basics.

All equipment and tools are provided in the studio. Each student has $50–$75 in store credit to spend at our in-house metals shop, located in our department. In our metals shop, we carry both sheets and wires in silver, copper, brass, and nickel silver.
You'll also start the semester with a materials bag, which includes essentials like two 6×6 metal sheets, solder, saw blades, drill bits, etc.

Projects are designed to be completed within class time (6 hours/week). Open studio hours are also available most days if you’d like extra time to explore your projects.
-
We usually cover 4 projects across 4 topics: cold connections, ring making with basic stone setting, chain making, and a small container. This course also encourages collaboration with your own major. I am happy to discuss your ideas!
