~ This is a drop-in, drop-out event. Come as you please. TCM members do not need to RSVP, just show up! ~

Join silversmithing instructor Abby Schneider for Open Studio in the jewelry department! Drop in and out, or come for the whole time, it doesn't matter! We're here to hang out, listen to music, and build a community of people making beautiful things. 

No prior jewelry experience is necessary or assumed, and this event can also serve as your orientation for the jewelry department. This is a time for getting together with other artists for community, advice/direct assistance on projects, and learning about safely using the advanced tools.

You can even come if you don't make jewelry but are just curious about the techniques involved in small metalworking. My hope is to build a knowledge-sharing community of practice. Everyone is welcome.

If you're not a member, this is a great way to try out TCM's jewelry tools and see if the space is for you. Bring some raw metal and have some fun! 

This event is for you if:

• You are a TCM member who wants to make jewelry but you don't know where/how to start

• You already know metalworking and want to help me build a community of practice. Make progress on a tough project, show off your work, or tackle a new idea!
