TEAL: Teen Emerging Artist Lab [WEEKLY]: Layered and Jangly Earrings

TEAL: TEEN EMERGING ARTISTS LAB

w/ Annette Campbell

Wednesdays 6-9 pm beginning July 22, 2026

Focus this week: Layered and jangly earrings

FIRE--HAMMERS--TOOLS! Take a mid-week break and join friends as you design and create jewelry and objects. No experience necessary. Participants from Teen Residency--- strengthen familiar skills and gain new techniques. New to Metalsmithing?--No problem! Join us as we explore how metals can be manipulated to create.

Up to 6 teens, aged 13-18, meet weekly to learn and practice metalsmithing skills. Professional tools are used as teens learn the basic skills of sawing, filing, hammering, soldering, and finishing metal work. All teens begin by sawing and piercing out a small desert creature sculpture from copper; this introduces some basic skills and vocabulary. Following sessions: teens may choose projects based on skill level including bangles, cuffs, earrings, pendants, stone setting, rings, small boxes, bolo ties, belt buckles and more.

Please arrive about 15 minutes early for your first session in order for parent to sign waiver and to tour the studio.

In the interest of safety: Wear closed toed shoes and non-synthetic clothing, tie your hair back securely, and don't wear loose, dangly clothing or jewelry.

Single Session Artists: Expect to take home a completed piece.

We use Copper and Brass. If you would like to use Sterling Silver, it may be purchased.

Cost: $45 / Session [Add material fees payable during class for silver, gemstones, or special tools]

$150 / 4-week session
