In this class students will learn the importance of process in making a clean and effective kinetic piece. While the process utilizes basic fabrication and soldering, the approach is more fine-tuned so will be a thorough education for those new to metalsmithing and will help polish the skills for those with previous experience.
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of soldering and fabrication in silver.
Dress Code
Closed-toed shoes and a tie for long hair are required in the studio.
About the Instructor
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metals from Ball State University. I live in work in northern lower Michigan where I’m raising my three school age kids (elementary, middle school and high school). My studio is also a my brick and mortar shop in a small town with one flashing stop light. I began making my kinetic work in college but took about a ten year hiatus from my bench to be a stay at home mom. I’ve been focusing on my kinertic jewelry professionally for the past eight years and have had my shop for almost four years.
Students Should Bring
Materials Kit* $55 (payable to instructor)
Maximum number of students: 12. Students will be required to sign a waiver. Participants must be 18 or older.

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 [email protected].
- 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. Registration cannot be applied to another class.
- 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. If the National Weather Services issues a Winter Storm Warning for the time period of the class, we will cancel the class. https://www.weather.gov/bou/winterguide
