Metalsmithing

Grind your design elements, solder your skills, and create one-of-a-kind art in the fully equipped metalsmithing and lapidary space. Before starting, members must be certified to use the metalsmithing and lapidary studio equipment. Upon certification completion, reserve a spot at the specialized jewelry workbench or utilize the diverse selection of hand tools to custom-create. From soldering to general metalwork, polishing, cleaning, and lapidary, enhance the creative process at Art Gym.
