About Your Host

The August Axel Jewelry Studio is a creative workshop in Venice Beach, CA. The Studio and course offerings were designed to serve a range of skills and interests from talented tinkerers to advanced artists. Our goal is to provide solid and safe bench-instruction, combined with hands-on practice, so artists may operate safely, independently and successfully. COURSES: Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Soldering. Bezel Setting. Tube Setting. Flush Setting. Prong Setting. Metalsmithing. Cold-Connections. Wire Wrapping. Knotting. Private or Group Lessons. And more. INSTRUCTORS: As Owner and Senior Instructor, Christy Sears brings a wealth of knowledge to the bench. With 15+ years of jewelry soldering and metal fabrication, endless patience and a healthy sense of humor, she creates a warm and welcoming learning environment. Not only does she believe in teaching "how", but "why" and this has made all of the difference to her students. All of the August Axel Jewelry Studio instructors create the same atmosphere, so students may reach their goals.

What we'll do

Metalsmithing is a great foundation for jewelry artists of all skill levels. In this class, you'll learn to design by exploring positive and negative space to create layered effects, pierce metals, learn to saw with a jewelers saw, create textured surfaces, add metal stamped expressions and finish with the polishing wheel. Each artist will execute their own design-vision, with one-on-one support from the Instructor. A pendant? Ring? Cuff? We're here to ensure you have a firm (and safe) grasp of the techniques. Expect to have fun, get hands-on experience and leave with a finished piece for Insta-bragging rights! Sign-up today while space is available!
