View & book →What locals say about this studio
VLMS courses require a $25 club membership (for liability insurance) on top of a materials fee for silver, so the true cost of the low-fee community courses includes membership and supplies.
VLMS beginner courses keep class sizes very small (4 for silversmithing, 5 for lapidary), which supports hands-on beginner instruction but means limited seats.
