Project Descriptions:
Forged Heart

In this quick one-hour class, you will be introduced to the concepts of forging metal to give your piece strength and dimension. We will work with basic wire tools and hammers.

Forged Heart Class
Heart Ring

Heart Ring


In this quick one-hour class you will learn to make this fun, yet stunning adjustable ring. We will discuss how to weave the wire to make a comfortable band. You will also learn how to size your ring correctly.

Wire Wrapped Heart


Learn techniques such as making open spirals, wire weaving and coiling to join multiple materials together using sterling silver wire. We will work with multiple gauges of wire to create this fun heart pendant just in time for Valentine's Day.

Valentines Necklace Class
Heart Earrings

Heart Earrings


In this quick one hour class you will learn how to make two styles of earrings. Depending on how quickly you work, you may finish two complete pairs of earrings. We will discuss making post style earrings and how to strengthen your metal so it keeps its shape.

Bezel Set and Pierced Pendant

Prerequisite: Basic soldering or Soldered Embellishments or prior soldering experience.

This workshop will instruct students on the process of manufacturing and setting a small cabochon in a pendant.  Students will learn to size and make a bezel, as well set a cabochon. In addition, students will become more proficient in working with a jewelers saw to create shapes and designs for a unique pendant.

You may bring your own small stone or glass cabochon or one will be provided as part of the materials fee. You will finish one pendant in class.

If you have taken this class before, I will help you move to the next level of design and construction.

Prerequisite: Basic soldering within the past 18 months or soldering skills up to date. Bring a brown bag lunch.

Bezel Set and Piercing class
Wire Wrapped Pendants Class

Wire Wrapped Cabochon Pendant


Learn to wrap a cabochon with square and 1/2 round sterling silver wire to make a beautiful and unique pendant. Prerequisite: There are no pre-requisites for this class; however, you will find this class much easier if you have had the Introduction to Wire Wrapped Pendants.

Open Studio
A new class for the schedule, but one that has been requested for a long time now. The open studio is just that. You are invited to work with me on a project of your choice. Use of the tools and equipment is provided in the studio fee. Bring your own materials or you may purchase them here.
A minimum of 24 hour notice is required
