Building upon foundational metalsmithing techniques, this class will elevate your existing skills and inspire you to tackle more advanced jewelry projects. We will cover bezel setting for faceted gemstones, saw piercing, soldering techniques, and finishing. Students will move through assigned projects, including a pair of sterling silver “diamond” earrings (or two pendants), but there will be plenty of room for design creativity. Be prepared to learn tips and tricks that will advance your jewelry making to the next level!

Please note: It is important that students have basic metalsmithing knowledge, either through the beginner 6-week metalsmithing course at Artascope or a comparable class.

Non-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200.

Series fee does not include materials. Supply kit is available from the instructor for an estimated $35* when series begins. Additional supplies are available to purchase separately as needed for class projects.

*NOTE: Due to daily increases in the cost of metal, the cost of materials is subject to change.

About the instructor: Carly has been working in the professional jewelry business for 13 years, and started her company, Flux Jewelry Studio in 2018. After learning the basics of fabrication and repair as a bench jeweler, she spent an inspiring year in Florence, Italy, taking classes in gemology, wax carving, rendering, and stone setting. Many of the unique engraved finishes and detail techniques Carly uses in her designs were passed down from the expert hands of jewelers working in the traditional Italian metalsmithing style. In her sunny Westbrook, Maine studio, Carly spends hours twisting fine wires, forming small beads of metal, and engraving each piece. Old world techniques, antique design inspiration, and a fresh take on classic concepts are Flux specialities.
