I Just completed the 8 week beginner silver smithing class and it was so good! Robin is a very patient and detail oriented teacher. I loved that the class was in the evening to fit people’s busy schedules. Thanks Eric! (aka Chris)

(((( OMG! )))) What a fantastic place! Wish I checked it out years ago! I noticed a lot of reviewers are jewelry makers but I'm really just into gemstones and crystals. I was looking for a large kyanite specimen to use it to cleanse my other stones and a lovely man helped me find the perfect one!

I took few classes there and it was awesome to have some hands on skills. A lot project time if you can make first piece quickly. Highly recommended.
