What do you want to learn next in the metals studio? In this special one-day workshop, the topic is decided by popular vote. Review the project options below and cast your vote in advance using the form. The option with the most votes becomes the focus of the class.

Click here to vote! Voting closes June 1, 2026!

Workshop Options:

Hinged Bracelets
Learn to fabricate a functional hinged clasp while exploring basic hinge construction. Students will create both unsoldered and soldered three-knuckle hinges, then use them to build a hinged bracelet closure. Leather or wide chain will form the bracelet band, while brass, silver, and copper tubing will be used to construct the hinge components.

Foldforming & Anticlastic Raising
Explore dynamic ways of forming metal into expressive three-dimensional shapes. Using techniques that feel a bit like “metal origami,” students will fold, hammer, twist, and shape sheet metal to create sculptural forms and textures. We’ll also experiment with anticlastic raising using specialized stakes and hammers to produce flowing curves, tubular forms, and ribbon-like shapes. This is a very physical, hammer-heavy workshop—ear protection is recommended.

A Marriage of Metals
Discover techniques for adding pattern and color by combining different metals. Students will experiment with mock inlay (rolling soldered wire or sheet into heavy sheet metal), solder inlay to create dot patterns or contrasting color, and twisted-wire laminations that produce wood-grain-like patterns when rolled out. Metals may include copper, brass, bronze, nickel, and silver.

Once voting closes on June 13, 2026, the winning topic will be announced and the workshop will focus entirely on that technique. Join us for a day of learning, experimentation, and studio camaraderie—guided by what jewelers want to explore most!

Prerequisite: Prior experience with one of the Welcome to the Studio classes or equivalent is recommended.

Pour molten silver over straw brooms, rock salt, lentils, and more! The metal casts the negative space of whatever you're pouring over, resulting in one of a kind organic-shaped pieces to use in your work. The process is immensely fun because you never know what you'll get from each pour! And it's immensely economical as well, since it recycles your silver scrap metal and any results you don't like can always be melted again.

Beginners welcome. Experienced broom-casters can use our setup for a work day.

Supplies: Materials are not included with registration. Bring your own scrap or purchase some from the studio at scrap metal prices. Bench scrap only please, no old jewelry.

We will go through the traditional western-style hand papermaking process step-by-step: understanding different types of fiber, how to source and process fibers, making pulp, forming sheets, adding decorative inclusions, and pressing and drying the sheets. Everyone will make several pieces of paper to use for their own art and craft projects, for writing letters, or simply to appreciate as art in its own right. You'll also learn strategies for making paper at home in a relatively small space without the need for much specialized equipment. Please wear clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet!

Supplies: $20 materials fee payable to the Teaching Artist on the day of the workshop.
