Tuition includes brass, copper, nickel silver, and select sterling silver wire. Due to rising silver costs, sterling silver sheet is no longer included and most projects will use copper, brass, or nickel silver. Students wishing to work in sterling silver should purchase a 3" × 3", 24-gauge dead-soft sterling silver sheet (recommended: Rio Grande Item No. 100598) prior to class. Hattie will provide sterling wire and bezel wire as needed.
