Classes at My Studio
For students looking for an intimate learning experience, I offer small classes in my home studio, by appointment only.
Come play in my work space!
Classes are limited to a maximum of 4 students, and private sessions are offered when requested.
Most students choose to get a group together, for a fun day of learning and sharing! (I supply everything you need, and try to add some inspiration too!)
Fees are as follows:(group = 3+ students) (private = 1-2 students)
Group, 3 hours = $50.00ea
Group, 6 hours = $75.00ea
Private, 3 hours= $75.00ea
Private, 6 hours = $125.00ea
Use of tools, all base metals and other supplies needed, are included in the fee. I have an eclectic assortment of beads that you are welcome to use.
All you need to bring is your imagination...and your lunch, if you're planning on spending the day!
(Some students wish to bring with their own special beads and stones. This is optional and welcome!)
(Students who wish to work in precious metals must inform me at least 2 weeks ahead of the scheduled class, to allow for ordering. The cost of the precious metals is not included in the above fees.) It is strongly recommended that you have some wirework experience before you venture into precious metals!
