CREATE ON YOUR OWN TIME.

San Diego Jewelry Academy is a fully equipped studio.

Small Group Classes and Open Studio Offered.

Students will become familiar with alloying and melting metal, pouring an ingot, annealing, using a rolling mill, forming, soldering with single and multi-fuel torches, rolling out custom wire and sheet stock, pattern making, sawing, filing, texturing and finishing techniques. Precision model making for lost wax casting and in-studio vacuum and centrifugal casting can be explored. Vulcanized and room temperature molds can also be made for replication casting and limited editions.

Most work is created in silver and gold, but is not limited to those metals.

Gemstones of all sizes and shapes can also be brought in and incorporated into the jewelry being made. Custom bezels and mountings can be made in class.

All necessary tools and equipment, with the exception of face masks, are provided for student use. Supplies such as silver, solder, other materials and incidentals can be purchased from the studio during class time. Students must provide their own face mask to be worn in the studio all times.
