Are you ready to unleash your inner metal artist a

Are you ready to unleash your inner metal artist and create stunning jewelry pieces that reflect the timeless beauty of Italy?

Our featured teacher this November is Davide Bigazzi Studios ( @davidebigazzistudio16 ) - where craftsmanship meets creativity, and you get to be the artisan! Davide not only offers a dazzling array of unique pieces but also invites you to immerse yourself in the world of jewelry-making through their hands-on classes.

"I started teaching jewelry and metalsmithing classes at Davide Bigazzi Studio in Menlo Park in 2007. I find that project-based, in-person learning works best, and so I devised an individualized approach that encourages each student to pursue their creativity and uncover their own style while learning the art of jewelry metalsmithing."

"With only 5 individuals in each group class, I guide each student on their journey of creating beautifully finished pieces of jewelry and holloware. As they design and create their pieces, my students learn how to work with silver, gold, and various stones while utilizing a range of fabrication techniques, soldering, wax carving, basic stone setting (prongs, bezels, flash setting), chasing and repousse, Keum-Boo, patina creation, texturizing, and much more."

Whether you're a beginner looking to create your first piece or a seasoned jeweler wanting to refine your skills, these classes have something for everyone. You'll be amazed at what you can create with the guidance of passionate instructors.

Davide has advice for the aspiring jewelers out there: "Just get started and keep learning. There are many ways to learn, so find a class, school, or instructor that encourages you to grow in the direction you desire."

Call for Art. Attn: MAG & ACCI members. If you aren’t currently a member of one of these guilds, you can join to apply.

As artists, we experience the flame within, the drive to create. As metal artists, we then unleash our skill and utilize flame to convert our creative ideas into visible form. In both inner and outer spheres, we must balance wild abandon with conscious working within the constraints of the material, time, and our craft. Often the result of the unleashed is an unexpected, unique piece of art.

Members of @accigallery, @enamelguild and the @metalartsguild_sf are once again collaborating on works that feature metal arts. The exhibition is an exciting chance for you to explore whatever creative images come to mind for you as we unleash our Flames. Jewelry, sculpture, conceptual pieces, and works that explore every aspect of metal are welcome.
