Learn professional techniques using a minimal, efficient setup. Join artist and expert jeweler Ken Fury for ongoing in-person jewelry-making classes designed for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students who want to build solid professional skills. This class focuses on creating jewelry using a clean, minimal workspace and traditional hand techniques that form the foundation of high-quality craftsmanship.
Through hands-on guidance, you will learn how to transform your ideas into finished pieces using wax carving, stone setting, and essential metalworking methods. Ken teaches step-by-step processes that you can continue practicing at home, and he provides personalized instruction to support each student's growth at their own pace.
The classes will help you gain an understanding of how to shape and carve wax models, prepare pieces for casting, polishing, and setting stones using both intuitive and traditional techniques. You will gain confidence working with copper, silver, gold, and basic jeweler's tools while building the skills needed to design and create your own original jewelry.
Whether you are exploring jewelry-making for the first time or looking to advance your technique, this class provides a strong foundation, professional instruction, and an inspiring creative experience. Many of Ken's past students have gone on to launch their own successful jewelry lines after building their skills in his classes.
Note: Tools and materials are included for the first class. Students will receive a supply list for their ongoing sessions.
