    Well why not start with teaching people how to cast their own metal to
    form sheets & wire , and then start up with small projects to teach
    soldering, annealing, work hardening.  Which they can use the metal
    that they made for their projects. 

    And then get a little fancier with wire inlays, or embossing. 

    Just a thought, I'm a newbie with learning metalsmithing myself. 

Cheers,
Julia
