This introductory studio course provides a foundation in essential jewelry fabrication
techniques. Students will learn to measure, saw, file, solder, and finish sheet metal
through guided exercises and projects such as spinner ring, stacker ring, or single-stone
ring. Basic cabochon stone-setting methods will be introduced, along with an emphasis
on design planning, craftsmanship, and safe studio practice. By the end of the course,
students will complete several small wearable pieces that demonstrate confidence in
basic metalsmithing skills.
