​About the Instructor
Chapin Dimond is a full-time professional metalsmith and jeweler. In 2003 he discovered the
magic of metalsmithing. From Metropolitan State College of Denver, he earned a BFA in Art:
Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing. Chapin is a Colorado native inspired by nature and the
magic of metals. Metalsmithing is the process of telling stories through metal, releasing the inner
“feeling” of what metal wants to be. Swing that hammer, light that torch, and see that magic
happen. To see Chapin’s work, visit his website, www.cdimond.com .
