For a hands-on course with homework you can wear, try Lone Star College-Montgomery’s new Art Metals and Jewelry course (ARTS 2341), offered for the first time this fall semester.

Students will design, form, and create one-of-a-kind jewelry and other small art objects from a variety of metals. The course will cover metal folding, forming, and joining, as well as the art of copper enameling, which introduces a wide range of colors on metal that will further enhance designs.

“The jewelry program has been suggested by both community members and students,” said Linda Woodward, chair of the art and humanities department at LSC-Montgomery. “It fits within the academic art curriculum, but also is a class for those who simply wish to enhance their artistic skills in this area.”

Both credit and continuing education students are encouraged to register. The class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:30-5:10 p.m. in a spacious lab, and a variety of tools and equipment are available for student use.

For more information about the Art Metals and Jewelry course, contact Linda Woodward at Linda.Woodward@LoneStar.edu; or Patricia Ramsay, adjunct faculty of art, at Patricia.Ramsay@LoneStar.edu.
