Yes! We offer Private Lessons at $50/hour. Are you stuck on a special piece and need advice? Want to learn how to solder and anneal? Read about a great technique in a book, but execution just isn’t working? In private lessons, your interests come first. We welcome one-time appointments as well as ongoing lessons and are happy to draft a lesson plan when needed. Topics previously taught include fold-forming, roll-printing, hammering, annealing, soldering, cold connection assembly, wire-wrapping, metal etching, patina recipes, and basic tools and techniques for the home studio. Ready to begin?
In addition to our public workshops, we entertain private group workshops at the studio. This makes for a great family activity excursion, unique girls’ night get together, or bridesmaids’ party where the girls can make their own custom jewelry for your wedding based on your design. We supply the materials and know-how, and when requested, snacks and beverages (okay, we might skip the wine or cocktails for the family-friendly version, just let us know). Want to hear more?
