"...same quality of teaching as in the group class, but all the instructions are directed just to you and fit your individual needs. You’ll accomplish so much more work as you’re not waiting for others and there are no distractions. The instructor stays with you until you have completed your piece. The quiet is a nice benefit.”  - Jean

Private Jewelry Making Lessons

Learn one-on-one with either Katie or Danielle! This is a great option for beginners to advanced, particularly for students who wish to work on a specific topic and/or prefer to have exclusive uninhibited one-on-one instructor attention.   Popular topics are those that students repeatedly struggle with (for example: particular soldering situations) or new topics (example: flush setting stones).

Many students, particularly beginners, find that they learn and accomplish more, faster, with one-on-one instruction.   Students repeatedly tell us that they prefer private lessons, and find this type of intimate one-on-one instruction extremely valuable.  

Topics are chosen on a student by student basis, based on the interests and needs of the individual.  Topics range from beginning to advanced, and some sample topics include:

• Enameling
• Cold Connections
• Sawing/Filing/Sanding/Finishing
• Soldering
• Hollow Construction
• Chain Fabrication
• Earrings
• Stone Setting
• Casting + Mold Making
• Findings/Hinges/Clasps
• Patinas
• Surface Textures/treatments
• Etc.

We offer special rates for booking our 15 and 18 hour private lesson packages.  These packages are equivalent to the standard 5 or 6 week courses.  Class days/times and number of hours per session are customized to each student.   

Three Hour Minimum
It's simply too difficult to get anything accomplished during shorter time periods.  Three hours is the standard amount of time allotted to a jewelry course.  Choose from a three hour (one day), six hour (one day), 15 or 18 hour package (split into 3 or 6 hour days at your discretion).  

Contact us to chat about Private Lessons ahead of time, or book your first set of courses below and we'll call you to discuss all the specifics!
