Discover the Best Jewelry Making Classes in Los Angeles

Jewelry making involves the creation of decorative items to be used as wearables. Jewelry can be made from a variety of materials, including clay, glass, beads, metal, and plastic, among many more. There are a variety of items that can be made as jewelry. This might include necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and watches. The tools and techniques you need to know to make your own jewelry vary widely depending on the type of jewelry you’re making and the material you are making it from. While so many factors might seem daunting, jewelry making is a hobby that can be simple and very beginner friendly. There are many entry points to the craft with options to improve your skills with more advanced techniques, should you wish to make more complex pieces. 

Why You Should Learn Jewelry Making in Los Angeles

There are many reasons for picking up a new hobby. Many people find that learning to make jewelry increases their feelings of happiness and accomplishment. Getting into the flow of physical motions involved in jewelry making can also have a meditative effect that releases stress. The combined increase in dopamine and the release of stress chemicals have been reported to temporarily boost the immune system. Overall, engaging in an enjoyable hobby is a great mood booster. 

Starting a new hobby can also increase your social circle. Many people turn to in-person or online communities for guidance and inspiration when picking up a new craft. These communities can be excellent sources of support and motivation. It’s even possible for long-life friends to be made through these connections. 

Jewelry making can become a new source of income. When someone becomes passionate and skilled in a hobby, that hobby often becomes a side hustle. This new source of income can be enough to cover the cost of a hobbyist's supplies and tools. Others earn enough from their hobby to equate to a part or full time job. It should be noted that not everyone chooses to monetize jewelry making, and that’s okay! What’s important is the value an individual personally receives from the craft.

Virtual Jewelry Making Classes 

The largest advantage of virtual classes lies in their accessibility. Students can attend these classes from anywhere they prefer without the costly commute required by in-person courses. Since online courses aren’t limited by a physical workspace, they often offer more topic choices and flexible schedules than physical classes. 

The downside of online courses, especially when it comes to jewelry making, is that not all courses can replicate the workshop setting of in-person classrooms. Students may need to shop for their own crafting materials to participate in the class rather than having materials provided for them when they attend class in person. Furthermore, some online jewelry making courses only exist as live demonstrations, rather than being a course where students can follow along and receive guidance in their work. That said, hands-on online workshops do exist for simple crafting techniques that don’t require complex studio tools. If hands-on projects are important to you, be sure to review the courses you are interested in carefully. 

CourseHorse jewelry making courses include The Hammered Earring class is on jewelry making course provided by CourseHorse. In this class, participants view a live demonstration of the processes involved in forging, soldering, and finishing hammered earrings. Students can ask questions and receive answers in a live forum. After class, participants will receive a list of materials should they wish to try the craft on their own time.

The Wax Carving Course instructs students on how to design and cast jewelry through the carving of hard wax molds. A materials list is sent to students after registering so they are able to participate in the live demonstration alongside the instruction. The course is open to students of all skill levels.

Various types of jewelry can be created from polymer clay, including keychains, earrings, necklace pendants, and brooches, among others. Thus, this class has something for everyone, even those who don’t feel particularly creative or inclined toward the creation of jewelry.
