Education: Metal & Wire Jewelry Classes And Tutorials

Welcome to the updated Education section of the website. Here you will find links to and info about all the classes that I teach both in my San Diego studio classroom as well as other venues around the country. In addition, if you scroll down the page a bit, you will find two sections of links to information relating to metal and wire jewelry: first, the "Metal Fabrication Studio" which features information and tutorials related to working with sheet metal (will be adding to this section soon); and second, the "Wire Jewelry Studio" which lists many informative resources on the tools and techniques for using wire in the construction of unique jewelry.
