Skills You’ll Learn
Gemstone silver jewelry with a bold design,
Let's make it with Artifax.
Hello, I'm Park Sung-seop, who runs the ARTIFEX silver jewelry brand and also conducts metal craft classes. With jewelry for 18 years I have been doing a variety of tasks.
It's been 8 years since I've been running a metal craft studio in Korea. I also met a lot of people while running offline classes. There were students who learned as a hobby and became majors, and there were also students who started a business while studying while preparing for employment. It is heartwarming to think about the impact that metal crafts have on people's lives. Now I would like to promote and spread metal crafts through online classes.
In this class, which is perfect for beginners, the basics for those who are new to metal crafts From understanding how to use tools and the nature of metals I'm leaving. Because of the characteristics of online classes, it is possible to practice sufficiently, Generously packed suppliesI hope you will follow along as you practice a lot with. At the end, you'll be able to apply what you've learned to create your own high-quality shapes!
Is there a piece of jewelry you've imagined?
It's time to bring it to life.
If you have a solid foundation in metal crafts and practice enough, you will be able to creatively create the desired shape at the end of the day. The curriculum is designed so that you can learn the necessary techniques one by one in each chapter, and practice and apply them well.
A maximum of 15 pieces of jewelry will be completed.
We've included plenty of materials in the preparation kit, so be sure to practice and develop your basic skills in your own metalwork workshop. Up to 15The amount of jewelry that can be completed is included. Once you've learned the skill with your hands through many exercises, the last thing you can do is create the shape you've imagined with your own hands!
It can be done anywhere.
The will to do it is important.
Getting started can be difficult and confusing. However, just starting out with someone makes sense. I will share the know-how and class experience that ARTIFEX has experienced over 18 years. I hope it will be an opportunity for us to find new talents of our own and continue our metalworking together.

Curriculum
Creator
ARTIFEX
I have a history of winning over 10 times in the Korea Traditional Craft Competition and Jewelry Design Competition for my major in jewelry design, and won The Best-Design Prize in 'Monet Contest' in 2010, mediated by NY U.S.A. Liz Claiborne (crafted products). Since then, after working as a high quality fashion jewelry designer/developer for 4 years with many famous US/European fashion brands such as GIVENCHY, JUICY COUTURE, BCBG, MONET, etc., I came to Korea to prepare my own brand. In 2014, I held classes at the same time as brand preparation, and produced and trained many founders, and the brand ARTIFEX's new collection includes products It is handmade using the jewelry production method. In line with the trend of the times, I will do my best to make metalwork, which falls within it, a metal craft, and the silver craft that belongs to it, a fun and happy hobby in the lives of the general public, rather than the domain of people who have majored in university or jewelry makers, to become a metal craft that everyone can enjoy with my own methods and know-how over the past 16 years.
