SHOWS
I sell the jewelry that I make at Shows and Markets throughout the region. A listing of these events can be found on this website under "Upcoming Shows"
CUSTOM WORK
About half of my business is doing Custom Work. I work with clients to meet their specific needs - from Bridal Jewelry, to pieces to commemorate an event, or simply 'the ring you have always wanted but haven't found yet'.
I work primarily in silver and gold, and with all kinds of stones (from semi-precious, to diamonds, to beach stones). I have many stones on hand, can source stones, and work with stones the client already has. Contact me to set up an appointment to discuss your project.
TEACHING
I teach metalsmithing and mentor budding jewelers. I do not have any classes scheduled at this time due to covid, but this WILL change. When I do, they will be listed on this website under "classes"
I DO take on apprentices. Contact me if this is something you would be interested in pursuing, OR if you want to be added to a list for when I resume teaching.

Come to the studio If you would like to schedule a studio visit, the “official hours “ are Tuesday thru Thursday, 12-5, and Sunday, 1-5. Contact me first via phone, text or email and we can set up an appointment. I can also often accommodate visits during other times if necessary.
Don't feel like going anywhere, but still want to shop?
Shoot me an email and I will lay out what I have with prices. I will mail you a photo, and we can take it from there.

These ARE challenging times. Small businesses like mine struggle under the best of circumstances, and the past year and a half has delivered a mighty collection of challenges. I am truly grateful to be able to do my work, and find (miraculously) a thriving market for my work. THANK YOU for your sustained support, I REALLY couldn't do it without you!
