Metalworking 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 30 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. She teaches private lessons with or without lodging, and teaches at other venues, all listed below.
