Create Your Own Jewelry
Spend a few creative hours in the studio learning how to make a piece of jewelry by hand. I'll guide you through each step, from using the tools safely to adding the finishing touches.
A relaxed, hands-on workshop
Workshops are limited to six participants, creating a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of time for individual guidance. There's no experience necessary, so just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm.
Practice, Practice
Before creating your final piece, you'll make a copper or brass ring to become familiar with the tools and techniques. We'll also cover fire safety so you feel confident and comfortable at the bench.
What's included
All tools and safety equipment are provided, along with:
- One 10mm round Indian agate cabochon in your choice of color for a handmade pendant or ring
- Two 8mm round Indian agate cabochons for handmade earrings
- Sterling silver needed to create the included pieces
A variety of additional stone sizes are available for an extra cost. Any additional sterling silver needed for a larger design is included in that cost.
Take home something you made
With step by step guidance and plenty of time to practice, you'll leave with your own handmade jewelry and new skills to build on.
Make yourself comfortable
I'll provide a sweet treat and a bottle of water, but you're welcome to bring a snack or drink of your choice to enjoy while you create.
I look forward to working with you!
