2026
Next class: Monday, 1st June, 2026 (and throughout June): Finish Unfinished Projects, 5p – 9p
Meeting Location: Metalsmithing Lab in the HGMS Ed Center, 7901 Bailey Cove Road SE, Huntsville.
We have had several months of in a row of projects that take several sessions to finish. A few people have mentioned that they are “behind” and would like to have time to finish what they started without a new project to learn so June will be working on unfinished Jewelry Projects. If you are newly certified and have only worked on the certification pendant, this is an ideal time to go ahead and start the next beginning class “Setting a Cabochon”. You can work at your own pace with help from the instructors.
Note: If you have finished all the project classes you have taken – Congratulations. We have an entire notebook of instructions for every class we have taught over the past 6+ years. Come and find a project that interests you. Note: If you want to start a new a project that needs special tools or supplies, please let me know by sending me an email (kbowman@wildivystudio.com) so I can bring them to class.
There is no set fee for this class. If you are finishing something and have purchased the kit, there is no charge. If you are making a duplicate (Lion or Chain as an example) you will need to purchase a new kit. If you still have the printed instructions, you will get a $1 discount. If you are starting something new—the fee will be the same as the original fee unless it is Sterling. We will have to re-calculate the silver cost to current values on those or switch to a base metal.
Note: There are nine seats available. There’s no set class this month. Use this time to finish a class or work on other projects.
