Popular Jewelry and Metalsmithing Classes Return to RCC

GRANTS PASS, Oregon (Aug. 26, 2025) — Rogue Community College (RCC) announces the return of Jewelry and Metalsmithing classes to the Redwood Campus this fall, back by popular demand after a two-year hiatus.

Beginning and advanced courses are available, giving students the opportunity to learn essential techniques such as cutting, texturing, riveting, lost-wax casting and silver soldering. Participants will design and create their own one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces—perfect for personal wear or gifts.

Two “just for fun” courses will be offered through RCC Community Education: The beginner class will meet Tuesdays from 5-7 p.m. starting Oct. 7, and the advanced class will meet Thursdays from 5-7 p.m. starting Oct. 9. The cost is $179 per term.

A credit-bearing option is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3:50 p.m. The cost for in-state tuition and fees is $444. If space is available, Oregon residents age 62+ who are not seeking college credit may qualify for a tuition waiver through the Lifelong Learner Program.
