Meltdown Studio

Tucked into the historic Old Town district, this metalsmithing and lapidary co-working studio hosts beginner-friendly hands-on workshops in silver jewelry making, torch soldering, and stone setting.

The move: Fire up jewelers' torches together to saw, hammer, and bezel-set Southwestern turquoise or spiny oyster shells into matching sterling silver rings or infinity latch bangles.
