New 2009 Course Descriptions

Located in the world-famous, mountain-resort community, Taos, New Mexico, Taos School of Metalsmithing and Lapidary Design offers beginning through advanced classes in jewelry making and stone cutting. Small group classes and individual instruction are available throughout the year in a friendly, artistically stimulating environment.

Workshops are taught by Marilynn Nicholson, an internationally renowned designer. Marilynn is known for developing unusual techniques used in cutting and setting irregular shaped stones and has designed a collection of unique catches, hinges, and mechanisms. [See enclosed biography]

During the summer months, one-week classes focus on specific techniques while introducing students of all levels to the rich artistic heritage of Northern New Mexico.

Discounted accommodations in nearby B&B’s, hotels, and private homes allow out of town visitors to experience life in the Southwest. During the remaining months of the year, the schedule includes hourly, half-day, full-day, weekend, and weekly classes, as well as guest artist workshops which vary from month to month.

Please contact us to request an ongoing monthly program list for small groups and individuals. We enjoy helping organize educational holidays where students can learn metal working techniques while exploring Taos and Santa Fe’s galleries and other points of interests. All of our classes include introductions to metal artists, galleries, suppliers, and designer stone cutters.

Let us help you plan your holiday! Please phone or e-mail us to request current information on class schedules.
