Classes
Overview
Brooklyn Metal Works is a fully equipped metalsmithing studio that offers a wide variety of classes and workshops taught by professional artists. Our goal is to teach creative problem solving through process and technique-based explorations, with projects designed to stimulate independent growth and learning. At BKMW students learn how to apply critical thinking and technical mastery to metalsmithing and jewelry making. Our classes are offered for adults who are 18 years old or older, unless otherwise noted, and are open to the public.

Student Studio Access
Currently enrolled students will receive a free punch card for work outside of class time to be used during Open Studio hours through the duration of the session. Punch card amounts are dependent on the length of the class session, see our chart here (Open Studio times vary, so please check the calendar). Student punch cards are valid through the class session they are issued. These punch cards are not transferable to future sessions. Short term students (who are enrolled in short form workshops and intensives) have access to the studio during the hours of the class, as stated in the course description. (Please note private lesson students aren’t guaranteed the same studio access privileges).
