Our 
Story

Meta'l Jewelry Studio was founded in the summer of 2024 with a vision to create an inspiring space for metal artists of all levels. We proudly began hosting our first classes and workshops in 2025, and since then, we've been committed to fostering a love for metal arts, providing exceptional education, and cultivating a thriving community of makers.

Commitment to Education

Beyond traditional jewelry making, we are excited to host a variety of auxiliary classes to broaden your creative horizons, including American Sign Language classes, printmaking, and flame working classes. We also frequently welcome special guest lecturers and instructors to provide unique insights and advanced techniques to our community.

Our studio is fully equipped to support a wide range of metalworking disciplines. We feature seven individual student benches, each with a Fordome Flexible Shaft, a dedicated full ventilation room, and well-organized shared tool areas designed for efficiency and collaboration.

From foundational techniques to advanced specialized skills, we are committed to offering a diverse curriculum that empowers our students to explore their artistic vision and master the craft.

Community Focused

Flexible Class Environment

We believe in the power of shared knowledge and passion. Our studio is a place where artists can connect, share ideas, collaborate, and inspire one another in a supportive environment.

We can comfortably accommodate classes ranging from 7 to 12 students, depending on the complexity of the technique being taught.
