Excellent course! We traveled from PA to take this walking tour, and it exceeded our expectations. Very valuable information you won’t find anywhere else. A+++ -

Jewelry Making: Summer Semester
I love the instructors here. They are a lot of fun and patient. I'm delighted I was able to make two pieces in one class. I will definitely be back to gain more skills. -
Jewelry Making: Summer Semester
Such an amazing vibe in this place! The instructors are amazingly talented and engaging and encouraging. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to take another class!!! -
Jewelry Making: Summer Semester
This place is the real thing. They teach the very basics (fusing, soldering, bezel setting) to the extreme (granulation, etc.) This is not a place to go to learn beading or wire wrapping. Students are taught at their own pace and no question is left unanswered. Highly recommended. -

Bezel Settings for Faceted Stones
Jeanette is amazing! Her class was not only fun, but I learned so many much, much better techniques than the ones I had been using for so long. This studio is really an invaluable resource. I will definitely be back for more classes!!! -
Bezel Settings for Faceted Stones
Class size was large- at least 11 people. We started 20 mins late as usual and ran out of time towards the end and felt rushed. They really need to cap the class size and offer more classes of the same, not squeeze everyone into one. -

Jewelry Making: The Prong Experience
Class advertises 4-5 students but there were about 7 for one teacher. It over-crowded, and rushed towards the end because we were running out of time. We shouldn't have started 20 minutes late! -
Lens Setting
The class was terrific and I learned a lot. The teacher was so patient and made sure we all received the help we needed. -
Argentium 101
I have been taking classes for about a year at Jewelry Arts. I have learned so much and love that I have so much freedom to make things I want instead of being assigned some specific project. I have chosen to tackle some more complex tasks forcing me to analyze the challenges I have set for myself while at the same time teaching me a variety of skills. It's a much more interesting way to learn. The teachers are so encouraging and knowledgeable . I can't imagine taking class anywhere else! -
Wax Carving 101 Summer Intensive
