Course Overview

Students will spend an hour or so the first day gathering pebbles and then will use diamond-encrusted drill bits to drill holes in them. The pebbles can then be made into pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Sterling silver wire, chain, tubing, and sheet will be used to fabricate unique pieces of jewelry based on each student’s own design theme. Discover the song of the jeweler’s saw, the hum of the drill, the intrigue of cold connections, and the thrill of a finished piece using these age-old techniques, and go home with three or four handmade works of art to wear—truly treasures from the North Shore. Some soldering skills will be introduced. Good hand-eye coordination and vision (or magnification) are helpful for this course.
