A Starter Guide to Metalsmithing - video and handbook course.

Learn Metalsmithing Online: Make Your First Silver & Turquoise Ring! After four amazing years of teaching metalsmithing in person—guiding over a thousand students through their first solder joints and bezel settings—I knew it was time to bring the magic online. And now…it’s finally here! This online course is your front-row seat to crafting a beautiful sterling silver and turquoise ring from scratch—no prior experience needed. Metalsmithing can feel a little intimidating at first, so I’ve designed this course to break it all down into simple, doable steps that actually make sense. What’s Inside: A 90-minute video walkthrough that covers every step of the ring-making process—from tools to torch work—plus tons of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting from years of hands-on teaching.  A 30-page downloadable handbook packed with helpful info, clear explanations, and direct links to every tool I recommend (no guesswork here!). But this course isn’t just about one ring—it’s about giving you the skills and confidence to keep creating. Throughout the video, I show how the techniques you're learning apply to a whole world of future projects. We’ll also tackle the most common mistakes new metalsmiths make, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, dreaming of launching a jewelry line, or just love learning with your hands, this course is the perfect place to start.
