Workshops

Teaching/Workshops
Erica teaches mostly easily accessible metalworking techniques to all different levels. These workshops are general jewelry type techniques on a slightly larger scale. Skills taught can include silver brazing, welding, cutting, forming, drilling, threading, small forgings, & finishing. From a spoon to a sky scraper's topping lantern, she has over 25 years experience as a professional metal fabricator working with clients on a wide array of challenging engineering and fabrication projects, and can help you learn the basics to take home to your garage, or collaborate/teach on more complicated goals in her studio.
Private Instruction (currently on hold, but see workshops out and about below)
