Looking to make your own unique jewelry? Or brush up on silversmithing skills? Then this is the class for you.
What:
Join us for a morning of creating your own unique jewelry. You’ll learn the basics of jewelry making, including how to use different tools and materials, and how to create different types of jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. ALL skill levels are invited to class.
Class registration is for the class and use of tools and equipment. Metal and stones are extra. They can be brought from home or bought at the store at the time of class. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re sure to have a blast!
This class is meant to be an ongoing class so one can learn new skills as old skills are mastered. However, if you wish to come to just one class, you are welcome to come. For one time classes, you can choose to make: silver band/ring, silver band/rind with cabochon stone, simple earring design, copper or silver bracelet with or without a cabochon stone and simple pendant with or without a cabochon stone.
Cost:
$40 per 2-hour class or 3 classes for $100. Class size is limited to about 4-5 so there is ample 1 on 1 instruction.
Metal and stones are extra and can be brought from home or bought at the store at the time of class.
Ages:
Though the class is geared towards adults, mature teens and pre-teens are welcome to join as well.
When:
every Wednesday mornings at 10am
as well as Thursday evenings at 6:30pm
Where:
Class will be taught at The Local Artisan Collective located in downtown Ogden, just a little south of the Megaplex at 2371 Kiesel Ave, Ogden. Private classes and parties are also available.
