Open Metals Studio is for advanced and experienced students who want additional time and access to the specialized tools and equipment in the Metals Studio — or simply want dedicated creative time alongside other makers. Students provide their own materials and metals. Open Studio is intended for students who have already completed an eight-week Beginning or Intermediate metals class at Sawtooth School. Independent metalsmiths interested in studio access outside the class track are welcome to inquire.

Participants should already be knowledgeable in the safe and appropriate use of studio equipment. Open Studio is not intended for learning new processes or experimenting with unfamiliar equipment, and Sawtooth reserves the right to limit equipment use as needed for safety and studio operations. Processes requiring kiln operation are not included in Open Metals Studio.
