Jay,

    I have taught several kids your son's age to make jewelry using
    silver. I think it is a little easier for them than working in brass,
    and more rewarding, since they can clearly see that they are making
    "real" jewelry. At his age, it's not about his motor skills being up
    to par, but his interest and dedication level. Since you are also
    taking a silversmithing class, it would be a bonus for you both to
    share materials, tools, and knowledge. 

Have fun!
Doug Zaruba
