Texture is an important design element. Sometimes it’s a way to express something in your jewelry, sometimes it’s a way to hide a mistake, and sometimes it’s just fun! If you're interested in learning a variety of ways to approach texture than this is the class for you. Students will learn different methods to create texture using a torch, stamping tools, hammers, flex shaft tools and more.

Please Note: This is a class for learning different ideas for texturing so a “finished project” is not part of the workshop.

Michele lives in the mountains and her work is inspired by nature and the human experience. To see Michele's work, visit her website, Sidhe Designs.

Cancellation Policy

• You may cancel up to 30 days prior to the start of the class and receive a full refund, less $25 processing. To cancel, send an email to info@bouldermetalsmiths.com.
• Cancellations less than 30 days prior to the start date will not be refunded.
• In the event we have to cancel a class, you will be notified prior to the start date and will be issued a full refund.
• Registration is not transferrable. You may not sell your seat to another student.
• If a class has multiple sessions, and you miss one, there is no make up opportunity and the instructor will not catch you up at the next class session. You may not join the next scheduled class, as there’s a maximum number of students for every class and it’s not fair to the other students.
• Please plan extra time to find us if you’re coming to BoMA for the first time. If you are late to a class, the instructor will not catch you up. There’s a structured curriculum for every class and its not fair to other students to skip part of the curriculum to catch up a student who’s late.
• Snow. Colorado has frequent snowstorms in the winter and does a good job maintaining their roads in the snow. Snowy weather is a regular occurrence in our area and most people are accustomed to traveling under such conditions. Classes will be cancelled only in the case of inclement weather conditions that would make class attendance unsafe. 
• By clicking on the “Buy Now” button and by paying the registration fee, you are agreeing to this cancellation policy.
• No Exceptions.

Waitlist
If the class is full, send an email to info@bouldermetalsmiths.com with the name of the class, your name and ‘please add me to the waitlist’.
