Metalsmith Summer Programs 1984
11 Minute Read
This is our fourth annual summer workshop listing of courses in metalsmithing, jewelry and related fields. As we go to press, much of the information given here is tentative or to-be-scheduled. Therefore, do write or call for verification of workshop themes, instructors and dates. Because enrollment is limited in many programs, we suggest you make reservations early.
We hope this section will be of help to those interested in pursuing studies in metalworking over the summer.
