Scrap to Sheet: Metal Reclaiming, Casting & Milling for Metalsmiths

Stop throwing money away on scrap metal. In this hands-on metalsmithing class, you'll learn how to reclaim, refine, and remill your precious metal scrap into usable sheet and wire — saving hundreds of dollars and reducing waste in your studio practice.

Whether you're working with sterling silver, fine silver, brass, or gold , this course walks you through the complete process from raw scrap to finished stock, including:

• Melting & alloying scrap metal safely using a torch and crucible 
• Casting clean ingots with proper technique to minimize porosity and cracking
• Rolling sheet metal to your exact gauge using a rolling mill
• Drawing wire to custom diameters for rings, settings, chains, and more
• Annealing and work-hardening principles for professional results

Perfect for jewelry makers, bench jewelers, silversmiths, and metal artists who want to take full control of their materials and studio workflow. No more wasted metal — every scrap becomes a resource.

What you'll walk away with: the skills to process your own reclaimed metal stock, reduce material costs, and work more sustainably as a maker.
