Jewelry Making

Begin your journey into jewelry making by creating a unique, wearable piece from copper sheet. You will learn and use some of the properties of the metal, work hardening, annealing, patinating and more, to create the finished piece. Copper works very much the same as silver and gold and the knowledge can be applied to the student’s future metalworking projects.
