Embrace the May Challenge: Spring
Join us for the May 2026 Metalsmithing Challenge, where creativity blossoms and skills grow.
This month, we're diving into a theme that will inspire you to innovate and expand your craft.
At the end of the month, be sure to share a photo of your Spring creation, along with a brief description of your thought process, the building process, things your learned and problems you solved.
The spirit of Spring
For May 2026, our challenge theme is "Spring." This theme invites you to explore not only the beauty of the season but also the mechanical ingenuity of a spring mechanism created by winding wire around a mandrel. Think about growth, renewal, and dynamic movement in your designs.
A challenge for everyone
Spring is also a season, with new beginnings and fresh starts.This challenge is designed for everyone, regardless of your experience level. Whether you're a beginner just starting your metalsmithing journey or an advanced student looking to refine your skills, you'll find inspiration and opportunity to grow.
Learning and growing together
By participating in this challenge, members will discover that every piece they create is a valuable learning process. Each month brings new techniques and ideas, building your skills progressively. You'll also learn to think outside the box, transforming initial concepts and prompts into jewelry that truly stands apart from the mainstream.
