  • The Instructor Kathy Cunningham was great! She is patient and always willing to help and full of knowledge willing to share all she knows.
  • Leslie is an excellent teacher and I feel very lucky I found this class during Covid. She knows how to teach online and the small class size was helpful. There were several people with different levels of experience in the class and everyone was able to get a lot out of it.
  • The teacher was very good at making sure everyone understood the process.
  • The instructor was very good and made sure everyone was working on the project correctly and was extremely friendly.
  • Kate was a great teacher. She was very patient, helped each person individually when we encountered any issue, and I cannot stress enough how patient she was. She showed us numerous examples and sent us home with explicit written instructions for future projects. I would definitely go back for future classes.
  • The class was fun, our Instructor was knowledgeable,personable and very helpful. I attended the class with my granddaughter and we are now bead enthusiast.
  • The class was so informative, fun. I learned so much in a short time such. Our instructor was patient well prepared and the ease she taught helped so much. Looking forward to more jewelry making classes.
  • Bead Making Workshop

    Liz was Sooo nice and helpful to me and my niece Evie! Definitely going back
  • I’m so glad I made the trek. The store is wonderfully arranged with what seems to be an endless array of beads, etc. The atmosphere was cozy. Our instructor Kim was awesome! She was thorough, patient and kind. I actually learned two bead weaving techniques. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn peyote stitch.
  • The class was a great experience. I learned so much and can not wait for the next class. The instructor, in my opinion, was clear, well prepared and helpful to all. As a former educator, I was impressed with her ability to adeptly handle all the students regardless of their experience level and needs. The beautiful wire wrapped pendants each of us was able to make (with guidance and help) is a testimony to the success of the class and instructor.
  • It was awesome, Fun and the technique was easier than I thought. The teacher was very patient and helped all levels of learning. I love my piece! Thank you!
  • Kate is very patient and we had a very good time in class.
  • Handcrafted Jewelry Making w/ Gemology and Color Theory

    I learned so much from Jamilla. I never intended to learn wire wrapping, but now I am hooked. I was able to make some beautiful pieces. When I wear the pendant I made I get so many compliments. Thank you for a great class Jamilla Vanilla!
  • This class was wonderful! Laurel was patient and clear in explaining the process, and my daughter and I both left with beautiful bracelets. I highly recommend this class!
  • It was a fun class. The teacher is very approachable. She explained things well and was open to answering any questions. I look forward to making more rings with some of my foreign currency I have saved from traveling.
  • My daughter and her friend loved it. They offer wonderful classes and no surprise that this one was as well. I just wish I was the recipient of her bracelet!
  • Torch-Fired Enamels

    Great teacher! Finished with a piece I really like!
  • Excellent instruction, and we walked out with a beautiful piece!
  • I had a great time. The instructor was patient and very friendly. Looking forward to see what classes are offered in the future.
  • Torch-Fired Enamels

    An excellent class! I'm a hobbyist silversmith / metalsmith. I enrolled in this class, in order to "broaden my horizons," a bit. It was a fun two-hour class. My first experience with torch-fired enamels was successful, and I came home with a way-cool pendant. The teachers, Bill and Rose, offered the class good guidance, and are friendly, enthusiastic, and patient. Now that I see what can be done with enamels, the creativity gears in my head are spinning. I hope to take this class again -- soon!
  • Booze & Bling (BYOB)

    We got to hammer, be creative and weld, what's not to love! I ring i made was not perfect, but I LOVE IT.
