Leather & Stones Jewelry Workshop
One of the best workshop I ever took. Kelly is extremely well equipped with not only all the materials and tools needed to accomplish incredible pieces, but her personality, knowledgeable, patience and creativity is incredible. She catered to all of us simultaneously and guided us through a mesmerizing experience. She made sure we all achieved our project to the last details and walked out of her studio with our own very special unique piece and a pretty strong feeling of pride for having made it. I want to go back next week and hope many more times from now on. Thank you -

Wall Totem from Nature
I loved this class! Kelly combined spirituality and artistic leather techniques to create this beautiful class. She helps you to feel confident in your choices of materials to create your wall totem and lends her expertise when you're just really unsure hehe. As a creative person with little time for a true outlet, Kelly's classes have been empowering to just disconnect for a few hours and enjoy making something beautiful with my own 2 hands. I can't recommend her classes enough. She is a wonderful teacher with an even more wonderful heart! -

I had an excellent experience and learned a lot taking Kelly's class. Her instructions are very thorough and delivered clearly. She makes herself available during class to help all those who need help. I look forward to taking future classes from Kelly. -

Leather & Stones Jewelry Workshop
I loved this class! Kelly is a great teacher: organized, supportive, helpful, detail oriented and inspiring! It's hard to believe at the start of class that you will leave with something so intricate and beautiful! I will most likely take this class a second (maybe a third) time because its 1) an amazing deal 2) super fun and 3) there are so many projects and materials to choose from. You leave the class having learned so much but also with an incredible piece made from ethically sourced materials that are beautiful. -
Leather & Stones Jewelry Workshop
Kelly's class was not only fun but also informative. She was extremely patient and generous with her space and time. It is obvious that she is well versed in her craft and was willing to share her knowledge and some helpful secrets. Kelly created a space that allowed her students to express our own aesthetic and ideas. I left feeling inspired and thinking about ho to use new materials in my own work. I hope to be able to take the upcoming wall totem class. -
Wall Totem from Nature
The materials we had to choose from were well curated and unique. I was able to create a beautiful wall hanging totem and connect the healing properties with my intentions for my home. This workshop is a must!
