Private Jewelry Making and Metalsmithing Lessons for Adults
"Dear Aimee,
I wanted to let you know that I finished the copper and silver box for my mother and brought it to her this month when I was there to help during her last bit of radiation. She loved the box and I wanted to thank you as well for being such a supportive and great teacher, helping me create something that would have special meaning for her."
Metal Arts Student - Shael Barger
