Metalwerx

Metalwerx promotes the art of jewelry and metals through exceptional classes, workshops, studio space, outreach programming, and events for professional and personal enrichment within a supportive community of artists and learners.

In 1998, metalsmiths Karen Christians and Jeff Bowie designed a place where education and community would be united under one roof. This concept is still the driving force behind our mission; to be a forward-thinking organization dedicated to supporting jewelry and metal arts through educational programming that fosters artistic and technical development while encouraging community growth and arts appreciation.

From the first time you walk in the door at Metalwerx, you're a part of our community. By taking it a step further and becoming a member, your annual contribution will further support our dynamic programs and facilities. Memberships help fund visiting artists, events, scholarships, equipment, and much more.
