Where can I study metalsmithing?
Here’s a question that often comes up on lists — where can one go to earn a degree in metalsmithing, or take a class, or learn a specific skills, such as casting?
Here’s a round up of some websites with comprehensive lists of schools. See also the Education category on this blog for some of my favorites.
This list, from the Society of American Silversmiths, is organized by state, a great idea:

Contenti Supply has a list:

National Portfolio Day’s list is organized by major and also notes whether a graduate degree is available. Scroll down for Jewelry.
Know of a great list, or a great school? Please post a comment! Thanks!

This is what I tell people who ask this. Check out you local community colleges first. A lot of times the Art dept. will offer a jewelry/metalsmithing class. If you like it then go for the for the bigger, more expensive universities and art institutes.
Great suggestion Georgia, thanks!
