    It was an absolute pleasure and Ken our instructor was not only knowledgeable, but extremely flexible, tailoring it to our desires, while making sure we had the basics down. I absolutely recommend this class and my only regret was that it was way too short!

    This course opened my eyes to the world of jewelry making and make me want to set up a bench at home. Particularly valuable were the list of connections in the Diamond District. These new connections will reduce my material costs by half. Highly recommend this course for those who want to take their jewelry to the next level.

    These have been the best summer Saturdays I have spent in a very long time. Carolina is instantly lovable, with so much knowledge that she freely, enthusiastically gives to us. Not just about making jewelry, but the art of alchemy and the history and chemistry that threads its way through the craft. I love this class so much, and I plan to continue my relationship with her if I’m able.

    Anonymous review on 2/14/2023
    Carolina is a fantastic instructor. No matter what direction you want to take jewelry making, hobbyist-professional, Carolina will be able to help you along your journey. It is important to know what you get out of this is what you put in. Metalsmithing is thousands of years of knowledge and won’t be compressed into a short amount of time. The first set of classes you will begin to work on basic fundamentals while working on your first pieces. This will require you to interact with businesses up on 47th street, while at times this can be frustrating, the finished jewelry will be worth the time put in. Carolina is very passionate about the art form, and you will learn a tremendous amount in the class. She is very easy to reach if you have questions.

    David with his 40 + years of experience in jewelry making is a great mentor and teacher, who inspired me to become a jewelry designer from the moment I met him almost 10 years ago. He masters all kind of goldsmith technics and alloys. He also understands gemstones and adapts to the complexity and style you are working on.
