Welcome to The Metalsmith Academy! Access 30+ Online Jewelry Making Classes With Everything You Need...

Enjoy beautifully shot, engaging videos that never block your view (no seriously, we’re obsessive about that!). Each video will help you understand scale, see exactly how the jewelry making tools are used, and take you up-close and personal with all the nitty-gritty details.

In order to help you to truly ‘get it’ and translate these lessons to your own unique designs, we ensure you understand not only the how but also the why. Don’t worry though, we also pledge that all our videos are as waffle-free as possible – packed only with the need-to-know info you’ll actually use.

We all learn in different ways, which is why every course is accompanied by a detailed handout with up to 150 pages of glorious full-cover photos. That way, you can get the practice in and refresh your knowledge even when you don’t have time to sit and watch a video.
