About this Event

Ever wanted to make your own jewelry but didn’t know where to start?

This class is the perfect place to begin! Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the basics of working with metal to create your very own piece of jewelry.

We’ll introduce you to basic jewelry tools and teach you how to safely and confidently use them. You’ll also learn about non-ferrous metals (like copper and brass) and discover a simple but amazing technique called fold forming — a way to fold, hammer, and shape metal into beautiful, organic designs.

By the end of class, you’ll have a finished pendant or pair of earrings to proudly wear or give as a gift — plus, you’ll take home one of your very own tools to keep creating!


In this Class You’ll Learn:

  • How to use basic jewelry tools safely and effectively
  • How to work with non-ferrous metals like copper and brass
  • Simple fold forming techniques to shape metal
  • How to finish and assemble your jewelry piece


What’s Included:

  • Step-by-step guidance from a friendly instructor
  • Your own completed jewelry piece
  • A jewelry tool to take home


No experience needed — just curiosity and a love of creating! Come join us, meet other beginners, and enjoy a relaxed, creative atmosphere while making something truly special.


Come have fun and make your first piece of handmade jewelry!
