As an artist it is very important for me to be around people and things that draw inspiration. I always look for genuine emotion and an honesty that only comes with sincere passion for the craft. Kristin Hanson's commitment to being a great jeweler and a nurturing teacher is definitely all there!
The most striking part of my experience in Fine Jewelry School is the creative atmosphere that cultivates incredible ideas that I didn't even know I was capable of. Kristin doesn't hold your hand through the entire process. The best way to learn is through trial and error. Kristin is definitely there to help guide you in the right direction, but if she was to hold your hand you wouldn't be able to challenge yourself to find new ways to solve creative issues. I believe ideas are born and later shaped through self exploration which forces you to see how far you can go and what you can make. Yes, it is the hard way out, but also the most rewarding!
I have made things I was sure could only exist in my dreams. Follow your dreams to Kristin's jewelry school!
