Metalsmithing Class

2026

The next class is Monday, February 2nd:  Layered Lion Pendant or ?, 5p – 9p

(As always, we’ll have open studio the rest of the month so you can finish the January class or work on other projects.)

The project this month will be making a stacked lion.  This can be a pendant, a pin or something else entirely such as the centerpiece on a cuff bracelet.  Since the price of silver has increased dramatically in the past month or so, this project is something that looks good made with brass, copper or other base metal.

The pendant has five sawn layers of 24gauge metal that forms the head of a male lion when stacked together.  Patterns for both the large and small size pendants will be included.  The large size is 1 7/8″ long and the smaller one is 1 1/2” long.  (The patterns can be resized on a copy machine if you want a different size.)  The class fee is $7.00.

There are nine seats available.  If there’s enough interest, we’ll add a second class on Thursday, February 5th.
