When I first came to the studio, I was looking for a place to go at night and on the weekends to explore a life-long hobby of mine. I had never worked with metal before, but I have always loved beading and making jewelry for friends and family. From the moment I walked in, I wanted to be able to come in everyday. It is such a beautiful and peaceful studio that houses Kristin's gallery, too. The students at the school all have different goals in their jewelry making. So it is fun to see what everyone is working on and get ideas from each other. I lost my job at Christmas, and I have started coming to school here full-time. I have learned a ton about not just making jewelry, but building my own business. This school is a unique and special place, which provides an amazing opportunity for anyone interested in jewelry design. I think the combination of a flexible schedule, one on one training, and the studio's atmosphere make this school one of kind. You have to see it to believe it.
Pros: flexible schedule, inspiring studio atmosphere, one-on-one instruction
