Light metals and jewelry offer many possibilities for working and creating in a variety of materials and processes, but usually with a foundation of solid working knowledge of nonferrous metals and metalsmithing. Some people concentrate on making unique objects for a single customer. Others move into larger-scale designs for a wider market, such as mass-produced jewelry or table settings. The work settings parallel this format, ranging from single-artist studios to larger companies. But in all cases, a knowledge of the materials must combine with a sophisticated sense of form and style.
