Membership Plans

 

Are you tired of working alone in your studio away from the outside world? Want to branch out and meet new like-minded people and share the joys of belonging to a community of makers? What are you waiting for? Join our growing family at CJS and start making new friends and enriching your life with fellowship. From our classes and social events to meeting guest instructos, tagging along on field trips, and selling opportunities, the time is now to start reaping the benefits of our membership program. 

 

Our memberships are designed to not only give aspiring metalsmiths a studio to work in hassle-free, but to also foster growth in all aspects of jewelry making. From the moment you walk through the door you will connect with other makers who share your love of fabrication, learning and tools! Between classes, Open Studio, social events, and shows, your tiny jewelry world will get a whole lot bigger.

Your membership also helps to support our growing programs and events and supports studio maintenance and costs associated with tools, equipment, gas, and other soldering consumables. Thank You!

*All members must have taken our Beginner 101 + 102 classes or the equivalent. Your membership gives you access to our Open Studio sessions, as long as you are able to work safely and independently.
