Our Studio
MAKE MADE jewelry is home to a cozy, state of the art Metalsmithing studio.
We strategically designed our space with students and making in mind, and combined all of our personal tools and equipment in order to make all of it available for student use. Over 50% of our 2000 square footage is dedicated to studio, tools, and students!
Our studio boasts a comprehensive list of tools and equipment, and a brand new, custom fitted, professional UL listed and strongly rated ventillation system that reaches all of our soldering stations as well covering our casting room. Our studio is equipped to comfortably host up to 6 students in intensive course settings, and up to 14 in some Workshops and Make + Sip courses.
