Sue Ann,
North Seattle Community College offers many jewelry classes. Another
wonderful resource is Pratt Fine Arts Center which offers classes,
workshops and studio rental slots. They are well equipped with
casting, electroforming, raising and fabricating capabilities. There
has also recently opened a small jewelry school offering classes and,
I believe, studio rental. The name, of course, escapes me this
morning, but I’m sure that someone will remember.
Above all else, your student should contact and join the Seattle
Metals Guild. seattlemetalsguild.org.
The Seattle area is a very good place to be a metalsmith. This area
abounds with talent and people who willingly-- and gladly – share
Hope this helps,
