In looking at their website I found that they are also offering classes in silversmithing, enameling, stone setting and wax carving, to name just a few. They also hold lectures on topics such as, Five Views on Contemporary Swedish Jewelry, and workshops like Julia’s and things like paper jewelry, clasps etc.
Years ago I took a wax carving class there and it was easily one of the best classes that I have taken which taught not only the physical aspects of carving wax for casting, but also covered indepth, where to buy materials, how to utilize the diamond district and how to go about selling your work. I would highly recommend the 92nd Street Y.
The upcoming tour that caught my eye was the Jewelry Centers of Southern Germany: Historical to Contemporary. What fun!
