Make It Yourself in Our Syracuse Studio!
We offer several classes each month where you make something to take home with you.
Spinner Rings, Stacking Rings and Torch-Fired Enameling classes are examples of projects that can be finished in 2-4 hours.
We also offer longer “Series” style classes in the summer months that run for 3-5 days
“I have taken two classes thus far, and both were excellent experiences. I love both my spinner ring, which I wear daily, and my new bead bracelet and earrings. The classes are well run with great instruction and guidance. Everyone was friendly, and it wasn’t awkward going alone.”
The Mentorship
If you want to take ALL the classes or if you have taken a class in the studio and want to keep going, the Mentorship is a great next step.
Spend 3 hours a week, for 6 weeks diving deeper into metalsmithing with sessions on soldering, sawing and stone setting.
I spend more time explaining WHY we do things in a certain way as well as how to do them-so you can begin to think like a metalsmith.
Online Classes
Want to Set Up a Home Studio?
I’ll show you how to get set up at home and give you new projects each month to learn and practice skills, so you’re not sitting at home wondering what you could make now that you have a studio.
Inside the Online Membership you get 3 new beginner-friendly projects each month and access to all of the classes in our course library.
We’ll cover the basics like sawing and soldering along with how to use all of those “thing-a-ma-bobs” that are needed to make jewelry.
Plus, you can ask me anything and I’ll answer.

“I just took my second class (enamel earrings) here yesterday and it was just as amazing as the first (ring making). The people who teach here are sweet, patient, and incredible instructors. They also foster a space which provides a lot of autonomy during the process, which is amazing. I highly recommend!”

About Your Guide
I’m Kelly
I spent 19 years in a career that had nothing to do with making anything — until 2012, when I finally listened to the creative voice I'd been ignoring my whole life.
The very first jewelry class I taught in 2012 was an Earring Class at my local Adult Ed program. Little did I know, that class was just the beginning of my jewelry making journey.
Today I run a Jewelry School, Gallery and Online Membership right here in Syracuse — and I love watching my student’s confidence and abilities expand.
You don't need a fine arts degree, just someone to show you the basics to get started.
Where you take that is up to you.
I’m pretty sure you’re going to impress yourself.
