Jamie will teach students how to forge a heavy silver bracelet from an ingot created from fine silver. Students will pour their own ingots and Jamie will demonstrate and discuss how to use a hammer and anvil to stretch and form metal. Molten metal, flying hammers... who wouldn't want to take this class?

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Jamie Mclandsborough has been working in the jewelry field for 20 years, since he was first introduced to soldering by a wonderful high school art teacher. Jamie has apprenticed, taken courses through GIA, tested with the Jewelers of America and studied extensively but still believes there is no better way to learn than a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of experimentation. Jamie currently works as a bench jeweler at Gusterman’s Silversmiths in Downtown Denver, serves on the Board of CoMA, and takes classes anywhere he can, most recently right here in the BoMA studio.
