Upcoming Classes

Industrial Art Classes in Oakland - The Crucible
Oakland-based industrial arts school with beginner to advanced classes in blacksmithing, welding, woodworking, jewelry, glass blowing, ceramics, and more.

Interested in learning to make jewelry?
The Crucible in Oakland is an incredible industrial art space, with a huge array of classes. Here's just a few I'm excited about, and I'd love to see you there!:

Chainmail Bracelet
Chainmail has roots in medieval armor, but is now used to create beautiful jewelry. In this intro class, students will learn to make jump rings and create a decorative "Byzantine" chain bracelet from copper wire.

Cuttlefish Casting
Use a cuttlefish 'bone' and molten metal to create a personalized pendant with fascinating texture.

Viking Knit Bracelet
Where knitting and metalwork cross! Learn the basics of this historic technique to weave colorful metal wire into a flexible cord-style bracelet.
