jewelry making

This introductory class is perfect if you are intimidated by the torch or just want to learn or practice basic soldering. Making chains by hand will quickly improve your soldering skills, both due to the repetition and to the delicate nature of the work.

Curious about the intricate art of wire wrapping beads to create a stunning chain? Join our workshop to master the skill of crafting perfect loops and creating a gorgeous beaded chain using Swarovski Crystal or gemstone beads.

Once you start making rings, you just can't stop! In this introductory class you will practice basic soldering techniques with a torch and learn how to make fitted rings, put texture on your ring bands and set small stones into a pre-made bezel setting on one of your handmade rings.

UPDATE: Due to weather concerns, the Pirate Pup Parade will be moved indoors outside of the Black Box Theater at the Brewery Arts Center. The film showing of "Hook" will be held in the BAC Performance Hall. Food Trucks will be outside in the parking lot.
