About Us
We provide mentors, assistance and activities for SJSU metalsmiths enrolled in any class taken in the Jewelry Lab on campus. We teach and build upon specific relevant skills that benefit individual artists and the Guild as a whole- both inside and outside the Jewelry Lab. Through workshops, we raise funds for additional classroom materials, furthering the skills and knowledge of the Guild, and supporting our beautiful San José State artists!
