Sam Steadman

This jewelry workshop will focus on making a sterling silver ring with a semi-precious stone set into a bezel. Attendees will learn basic bench fabrication skills, which include lapidary technique, forming, piercing, soldering, and finishing metal. This workshop is open to participants at all levels of experience. Signing up for jewelry means you will only be able to take 1 class as it is two sessions! Space is limited to 20 participants.

Samuel Steadman is primarily a sculptor and has been using jewelry as his main avenue of creation for the last 24 years. He is a teaching artist with unique aesthetics, but as he interacts with hundreds of students each year he is often forced to think outside of his own ideas to solve problems. The combination of seeing student’s designs and the need to figure out and practice various techniques to help those students accomplish their designs has led to a somewhat eclectic body of work. Samuel is the owner and operator of Bipolar Art and Jewelry. He has been teaching jewelry making for 22 years at Mountain View High school and is a recognized metal artist with the Utah County Art Board. He received his BA and MA in art education from Brigham Young University.
