Workshops
I’ve had a passion for teaching since my college days and have had the immense pleasure of teaching metalsmithing and jewelry workshops since 2013. I’ve taught at both private and public institutions with students of all ages. In my workshops I share my years of artistic knowledge and experience with each student I encounter. I teach a range of skills for beginners to advanced using precious and non-precious metals and materials: Fabrication, forming, hand piercing, and studio set-up and tools, just to name a few.
Check out my schedule below to sign up for workshops.
