Metal Smithing Class-Fabrication Techniques


I'm currently taking a metal smithing class focused on fabrication techniques at the Craft Guild of Dallas. My instructor is the ever patient Suzy Badger. This is one of of the few opportunities I have to learn new techniques because they offer evening intstruction!

I have learned to make a silver domed ring, cut out my own earring designs(pictured) and I'm currently working on a bezel ring with chrysolloca.

The Craft Guild is such an awesome place. They also offer classes in metal clay, lampwork beads, dichroic glass, bookbinding & pottery.
