Teaching Beginning Jewelry Classes

Super excited to announce that I will be teaching a Beginning Jewelry Series at New Approach School for Jewelers this summer. New Approach is an amazing professional jewelry school that has trained thousands of successful jewelers over the years. I am forever grateful for the knowledge and skills I was able to learn and refine during my time in the Graduate Bench Program. 

The Beginning Jewelry Series will encompass 4 different jewelry workshops.

•  4 day Basic Fabrication workshop over two consecutive weekends that covers the basic skills of fabrication to start creating your own designs. Really a great way to get started in jewelry and learn solid skills to take your beginning design ideas to the next level. 
• 1 day exploration in Rings. Learn the basics of making simple fabricated rings. Learn to create texture and how to set simple tube set bezel stones.
• 2 day workshop on Bracelets. Learn to make cuffs, bangles and simple link bracelets. Learn ways to shape and form brackets as well as creating textures.
• 2 day intermediate workshop on Professional Bezel Making. Learn how to make bezels beyond the thin bezel wire push over style. Create thicker handmade bezels, learn how to set with a hammer and chisel and finishing techniques utilizing micro burnishers and gravers. This is perfect for the student looking to move beyond the thin bezel style and create more substantial looking bezels.
