Tools and Supplies

Making jewelry requires a love of shiny things, patience, and a willingness to make the same mistakes over and over again. It also requires a lot of stuff. Whether you have a studio or a bench set up in the corner of your living room, you will need all sorts of tools and supplies. Here are some that CJAS recommends.

STUDENT KIT — INTRO TO METALSMITHING

To purchase the bulk of the student kit, please visit the AllCraft webpage through this link. There, you will find a kit labeled CJAS-INTRO KIT that you can purchase directly. (If you already have some tools, you can complete your kit through the individual item links on the CJAS page to buy only what you need. You do not have to purchase both the INTRO KIT and the individual items.)
