Cowboy Arts/Western Silversmithing

Western Silversmithing Classes

The Cowboy Arts/Western Silversmithing and Fabrication Program is a vibrant element of traditional western culture arts. Students learn design, fabrication, and engraving techniques to produce premium quality bits, spurs, buckles, bracelets, and pendants. These Items are are worn and used in traditional western culture, and they’re often selected to express the individual’s style and personality. Delicate craftsmanship is what makes these pieces stand out. At Mesalnds Community College, we provide comprehensive western silversmithing classes to help students learn the Cowboy Arts.

Specialized Western Silversmith Education

Many generic silversmithing programs relate to jewelry, and curriculum is often not applicable to cowboy gear designers. Buckles, spurs, and other traditional pieces require heavier materials. When you use silver that’s denser, it impacts the soldering method and fabrication temperature. Engraving techniques may also differ between jewelry and cowboy gear. Ultimately, general silversmith training won’t prepare a student for a career in western silversmithing.

We teach these nuanced principles at Mesalands Community College. Our western silversmithing classes cover the cowboy arts’ specialized techniques. Training includes many styles of engraving, such as western bright cut and single point. If you want tot learn sliversmiting so you can create artistic coboy hear, we offer the most relevant curriculum available anywhere.
