All once a week classes are taught through one-on-one instruction geared to your skill level and interests, whether you are a complete beginner or advanced metalsmith.
Since our instructors work with you individually, you never have to worry about keeping up with a class that is moving too quickly or too slowly for your comfort. Just sign up for the class time that best fits your schedule. Your instructors have years of team teaching experience and will guide you every step of the way.
