DESCRIPTION
This course will introduce students to the art and craft of silversmithing.

Students will work with an open flame torch, soldering flux, various tools, and sterling silver to create their very own heirloom. Various pieces of turquoise and other stones will be provided for students to choose from. Students must be able to hold a torch, pliers, and files for short amounts of time. No previous experience or prerequisites required!

ABOUT SARAH
Sarah Calautti is a self-taught silversmith who blends traditional, southwestern silversmithing techniques with Pacific Northwestern scenes. She began her journey as a silversmith while living full-time in a school bus. After landing on the Olympic Peninsula and becoming enveloped in its maritime forests and kelp beds, her work has become a direct reflection of the beauty that she finds here.
