Statement Earrings - Saturday Metalsmithing Workshop

Go big. Create two pairs of bold, lightweight statement earrings while exploring two completely different ways of working with metal. First, forge, hammer, bend, and curve wire into sculptural forms. Then work with sheet metal, cutting, texturing, shaping, and forming it into something entirely your own. Make them long. Make them architectural. Make them asymmetrical. We did not come here to make tiny earrings. Two pairs. Two techniques. Your rules. No experience needed.

Workshop cost does not include materials. The materials kit fee ranges from $45-$55 and is available to purchase from the instructor via Venmo.

6-hour Workshop Cost - Non-members: $125 / Members: $100

NOTE: Eventbrite charges non-refundable processing fees for online payments and now displays these fees in the total ticket price shown on this event listing.

Six hours gives us enough time to settle into the studio, learn the techniques, make the work, and finish our pieces without racing the clock. We’ll take a snack break partway through class. Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks and drinks. Metalsmithing is surprisingly hungry work.

For safety, students must wear closed-toed shoes and clothing appropriate for working in a metals studio. Long hair must be able to be pulled back and secured. We’ll be working with torches, hot metal, hammers, chemicals, and equipment, so this is not the afternoon for flowing sleeves and Rapunzel cosplay.

Additional materials will be available for purchase directly from the instructor via Venmo.

About the instructor: Laura Jamison of LJ Studios Metalsmith is an instructor from New Hampshire. Her workshops are designed to be approachable for beginners while teaching real metalsmithing skills. She says, "We’re going to saw it, hammer it, solder it, forge it, set it, and occasionally swear at it. Then we’re going to make something beautiful."
