Welcome to The Howard Academy for the Metal Arts - where craftsmanship meets opportunity.

At a time when traditional apprenticeships in the jewelry trade are rare, our Academy offers a practical and focused alternative for those who aspire to become skilled goldsmiths, jewelers, or custom metal artists. We understand that most employers can no longer afford to train beginners on the job - that’s where we come in.

Our mission is to equip aspiring artisans with real, hands-on experience in jewelry design and metalworking. We emphasize skill-building over theory, using a low-tech, low-cost approach that prepares students for employment or self-employment in the jewelry and metal arts industries.

If you're ready to turn your creativity into craftsmanship, you're in the right place.
