Earrings Intensive

Class Description

Taught by Naama Levit

8-week course (meets once a week for 3 hours)

This course introduces fundamental techniques in jewelry making through the design and fabrication of earrings. Students will learn core metalworking skills—including sawing, soldering, texturing, forming, and finishing—while exploring the relationship between jewelry, the body, and space. Through a series of four structured projects, participants will investigate form, balance, materiality, and function, developing both technical proficiency and a personal design approach. Weekly demonstrations, hands-on studio work, and group conversation will support the development of thoughtful, wearable pieces.

Basic jewelry fabrication skills, such as soldering and torchwork, are required. Our Welcome to BKMW: Jewelry offers this foundation.

Class size 4 – 12 students.

All students enrolled in this course have access to the studio during open studio hours, at a discounted hourly student rate or a 12 hour bench card. In addition, full-time students have access to free open studio hours on Fridays and Saturdays during their course.

Early Bird Special pricing for the Fall Session will be in effect until October 6th, when pricing will increase to $580.
