EXPERIENCE NOTE & DISCLAIMER Metalsmithing programs require the registered individual to have fine motor skills/dexterity and some physicality such as being able to saw metal, use hand tools, and soldering with open flame. Please contact us in advance if you or the registered individual are unable to do these tasks on their own and we will strive to find a solution as the instructor is unable to work one on one to do sawing, detail work, soldering tasks for individuals, but instead supports the entire class.

Additionally if you have your own eye protection if you already have a pair of safety glasses or goggles, if not eye protection will be assigned each class and will be disinfected before and after usage.
