Description of The Art League
The Art League at the Torpedo Factory (105 N. Union St., Alexandria; 703-683-2323; www.theartleague.org) offers the area's most comprehensive program of instruction in jewelry making. Various classes teach students to work with gold, silver, copper, stones, gems, beads, and such alternative materials as Lucite; topics include soldering, metal texturing, simple stone-setting, finishing, wax-model casting, enameling, and tools and their uses. Most classes are suitable for beginners. Courses cost $220 for nine weekly three-hour classes or five weeks of five-hour classes. The exception is Jewelry With Gems, an introduction to basic stone-setting for pearls, cabochons, and faceted stones; the $290 cost covers nine weeks of four-hour classes, and previous metal-working experience is required. All-day workshops on such topics as photo-etched jewelry, tool making, repoussé, and enameling cost $80 to $325. Class and workshop schedules and registration forms are available in person, by phone, and on the Web site.
