My Teaching Approach, Philosophy, and Style
My teaching approach comes from years of learning, primarily through self-teaching and a few formal classes. No matter the learning path, I believe......“Technique Is Everything”Without good technique, a Jewelry Artist cannot be free to create and develop their unique style and artistry entirely.The workshops are designed for all levels, from beginner to seasoned. There is something for every group to learn.Every workshop is centered around techniques needed to complete a take-home piece of jewelry taught in a hands-on step by step instructional tutorial style with ample time to complete the project and the satisfaction to say:
“I made this!”
I teach in a way that promotes individual creativity in my students, encouraging the development of their styles.
