We sell GIFT CERTIFICATEs

Gift certificates can be purchased for a specific service, but may be applied toward any service, including private lessons or parties.

Each Make + Take workshop focuses on a specific project. You’ll leave with a finished piece YOU make during class. There will be opportunities to customize details such as size, texture, stamping, and finish within the scope of the project.

Want to make something completely custom? Check out our private lesson option.

We’ve got all of your tools and materials, but there are a few things you can do to make sure you are prepared.

• Bring a good attitude. Metalsmithing takes patience, and learning often includes surprises. Your final piece may look different than you imagined, and that’s part of the experience.

• In regard to clothing, please wear something comfortable. You need to be able to move without restriction.

• Long hair, scarves, and dangly bits on clothes need to be kept in check. Hair should be off the face and preferably in a ponytail.

• If you like using glasses to see small things, please be sure to bring those.

Make + Take workshops are a great introduction to the studio, tools, and processes used in metalsmithing. For those looking for a more comprehensive foundation, we highly recommend our Beginning Metalsmithing for Jewelry workshop. This 10-hour course covers the core skills needed to create hand-fabricated jewelry.

Workshops are designed for ALL experience levels, but are geared toward adults, and participants are expected to be 14+.

We can and have accommodated younger smiths on a case by case basis. Please contact us if you’re interested in having a kid or group of kiddos participate in a workshop or lesson.

Our studio is located on the 7th floor of the Livestock Exchange Building. It is a 9 story red brick building in Kansas City’s historical West Bottoms neighborhood.

There is a ton of free street parking, 2-3 free surface lots, and even a ticketed parking garage, BUT the one way streets can make it a bit tricky to get around. If you have never been to the building before its a good idea to add a few extra minutes to your drive time.

We recommend that you use the street level lot behind the building, follow the brick path to the black unmarked double doors, and take the elevators to the 7th floor.

Enjoy the class in whatever way feels right to you. Take lots of photos and videos, or none at all. Instructors will also snap a few moments along the way, and you’ll receive a Google Drive link with those images after class.

Whether you captured it or we did, feel free to share on social media. We love seeing what you make. Tag us @alloy_metalsmithing so we can cheer you on.
