Embark on an adventure into metalsmithing! Design and create jewelry from copper and brass sheet metal. Cut out intriguing organic shapes with a jeweler's saw. Explore various textures by using hammers and steel stamps. Then, emphasize areas of light and shadow in your designs with a liquid patina. Finally, you’ll sand and polish your jewelry using a flex shaft and myriad attachments.
