Sea to Studio: Jewelry from Coastal Treasures

Turn Your Treasured Beach Finds Into Beautiful Wearable Jewels!
As summer fades into fall, give your coastal treasures new life. In this hands-on, one-day class, you’ll learn how to drill seashells, shark teeth, and other found objects to transform them into stunning wearable pieces.

We’ll walk you through how to safely work with fragile natural materials, add gold or silver findings, and assemble a one-of-a-kind necklace or charm cluster that captures the spirit of your summer.

What you’ll learn:

*How to safely drill and/or capture shell, bone, coral, sea glass, or fossil materials

*Design principles for creating beautiful wearable compositions

*Tips for securing unusually shaped objects and working with raw metal wire

*Beginner Soldering (with special considerations for fragile found objects)

*Professional finishing with sterling or gold findings

Bring your own beachcombed treasures or select something from our curated studio collection.

*We recommend bringing more objects than you expect to use so that we can select the pieces that are best suited to our working methods.

*Each student will make a minimum of 1 piece, but many students will make several, depending on complexity.

No experience necessary! Just bring your creativity and curiosity.
