Silver Peak Studio and Gallery: Jewelry Classes, Colorado Local Goods

Learn to metalsmith jewelry in a small-class setting with some of the best instructors in the biz. Located in Old Town Lafayette, CO.

Welcome to Silver Peak Studio & Gallery: the most unique jewelry experience in Colorado!

Since the summer of 2020, we have enabled hundreds to students to experience the art of metalsmithing jewelry. This spring, we expanded and moved our school from Louisville to the heart of Lafayette, Colorado, which is where we've lived for the past 22 years.

With the move came the opening of a store-front which is just west of our jewelry school. Here you can shop our instructors' and students' jewelry, along with having the opportunity to get welded (aka "permanent" jewelry), inquire about our repair services, and experience the art of custom modern fine jewelry and bridal that is truly one-of-a-kind. We also have locally-made gifts and cards that no one else carries in east Boulder County.

Scroll below to learn what sets us apart from other jewelry schools, and click on our Gallery tab above to see a sample of what we carry in our store.

Whether you are taking a class or shopping for gifts, we promise to give you an unparalleled experience when it comes to service and quality.

Small Class size =

Best Learning Environment

Let's face it: you learn best when there are only a handful of other students vs. a larger class size of 8-10 students. We never have more than 6 students (minimum of 3 students) in our metalsmithing classes, and you will have your own dedicated jeweler's bench with all the tools needed for the class. All you need to do is show up!

I loved the Metals 1 & 2 classes I took at Silver Peak Studio! The studio is so bright and inviting. And the instructors I had were amazing. They are so knowledgeable and friendly. I had so much fun learning how to make silver and stone rings and can’t wait to take more classes!

Classes and teachers here at Silver Peak Studio are top notch! I've enjoyed the classes I've taken here, and I've always felt like I was in great hands with these skilled teachers. The Torch-Fired Enameling class was such a FUN and well-taught and enjoyable class! I was offered such great tips, our instructor kept us safe, managed a perfect pace and balance...totally recommend!

Cheyenne was a great instructor. He was hands on for 100% of the process during the 2-day Beginning Casting class. He helped me understand how to do wax carving and casting. I was also able to observe three different types of metal being cast (bronze, silver, and gold), which was great!
