Fall 2012: Openings in Adult Ed Jewelry Making Classes!

Have you ever been curious about making your own jewelry? Classes at Santa Barbara City College's Continuing Education Jewelry Arts studio offers an affordable way to learn jewelry arts such as jewelry fabrication, casting and enameling!

Classes are available for adults of all ages and abilities.  Learn to make rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings, and brooches out of sterling silver, precious and semi-precious stones, and other precious metals. You will receive expert instruction from friendly, easy-to-follow teachers. All tools and materials are provided for the projects and no experience is necessary.  Santa Barbara residency is not required, and many students commute to the jewelry arts studio from all over the south and central coast. Visitors on vacation or holiday are welcome.  Scholarships are available if the course fees are prohibitive.

Many historically popular classes are under enrolled this term, largely because the classes had been offered for free, but are now fee based. Because the state no longer funds classes that are not directly related to vocational skills (and sadly arts and crafts qualify as "hobbies" in their eyes), the classes are now offered at a nominal, affordable fee.  Compared with other jewelry schools, the fees are quite a bargain!

Support Continuing Education and learn more about jewelry arts by joining us this term.  Register now for classes!
