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

Learn to metalsmith jewelry in a small-group, friendly environment with some of Colorado's best jewelry educators! Scroll below to discover what sets us apart.

Welcome to Silver Peak Studio & Gallery!

This Spring, we moved our jewelry school to Old Town Lafayette, CO, so that we could not only have an expanded metalsmithing classroom and studio space, but also dedicated free parking, awesome amenities (hello yummy lunch options!), and be in a more central location in East Boulder County.

With this expansion, we opened an art gallery where we represent over 20 Colorado artists. Here you can shop our instructors' and students' art jewelry, 2-D art, locally-made bath and body products, candles, and note cards. You can also bring in jewelry to be repaired, schedule a consultation for a custom design project (bridal or heirloom), schedule an appointment to get a welded ("permanent") bracelet, or shop our charm and bead bar. All students get 10% off their gallery purchase the day of class.

We invite you to view our class schedule and stop in the gallery during business hours and we can give you a tour of the metalsmithing classroom. We promise you a spotless, state-of-the-art learning space, amazing instructors, a reasonable cancellation policy, and the best customer service in Boulder County.

We look forward to supporting you in your creative jewelry-making journey.

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!

Dedicated team of Instructors =

Building rapport

There are plenty of good metalsmith instructors in Colorado, but what makes us unique is that we have a dedicated team who are experienced, patient, (and fun!) that teach on a monthly basis. This enables you to develop a rapport with your instructors. They will get to know your learning style, which will help them teach you in the best way possible.

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!
