Sterling earrings
(intermediate)
Whether it's bookbinding (traditional or
contemporary), jewelry making, soldering with a torch, enameling, artist's
books (metal, glass, wood and more) take time to immerse yourself and really
meet your goals for your time. For inspiration, the studio is
stuffed with handmade books, jewelry and other works of art. Take a look at the
photos from previous classes to get a feel for the broad range of exciting
possibilities. |

My students enjoy coming back for
classes again and again.
In the past, classes have been designed for; Etsy and
other online shop owners, instructors needing class-planning help, a college professor with a study
grant, former students wanting to finish projects or practice skills, a
professor on sabbatical, groups wanting to learn projects together, out of
state/country travelers and
others. Email me if you're interested and we'll discuss
all the wonderful possibilities. Let's start planning your trip to beautiful Volcano! |
