Metalsmithing Demos

Metals and Jewelry Design undergraduate students will lead demonstrations of metal casting, enameling, and engraving from 10 to 2. The rest of the day, we will have a make-a-thon, where visitors can step into a clearly designated safe area of the studio to see students working on their final projects. Visitors will be able to walk into the main teaching area of the metals studio to watch demos and to observe students' work. They will see all kinds of specialty equipment and tools and get to talk with craft students who are very knowledgeable and hardworking. This is a great event for prospective students or anyone who is curious about what happens in the metals department.
