studio tour
Our friend and professional photographer, Jason Domingues, popped by the studio to take some photos recently. We thought it was a good opportunity to show off our space!
The Shared Studio - This is where all of our workshops happen. It’s also the co-working space for our entry level bench members. For $95/month, you can work in this comfortable and safe space. You’ll get a locker to keep some hand tools, have access to our fully equipped soldering station and various shared tools.
The Designated Studio - A space exclusively dedicated to co-working, but for the metalsmith that wants to spread out a bit and keep their own bench. This space is equipped with 5 professional jeweler’s benches, each with their own flex shaft, adjustable desk chair, extra tool storage, design table, & locking cabinet.

We also have several larger tools mounted in the studio, including a shear, rolling mill, heavy duty vice, and a ring bending tool. Take a look at the shared tools we have available HERE.

Stocked with essential go to materials for creating whatever you’re dreaming up. We have copper and silver sheet and wire in a variety of gauges. Additionally, in silver we offer bezel wire in various heights and gauges. We have flux, solder, and sawblades available as well. Oh yeah, we’ve also curated some kits to help you get started! Our Beginner's Tool Kit has everything you need to start working in our space. Our Favorite Finishing Tools Kit is filled with our go to tools for making your projects shine (or intentionally matte).
The Library
We have an excellent collection of 100+ metalsmithing books that our members can check out at anytime to use for reference & inspiration. We use an old school library card system and a convenient drop box outside of the studio for returns. Anyone can utilize our library! Just please be a good human and return your books in a timely manner. Click HERE to see a list of our collection of books!
