Hi Andrea, I am from L.A. and lived in NY for a while. While in NY I
took classes at many schools, including Cecelia Bauer, and can’t
speak highly enough about her school. I know of Jewelry Arts
Institute, but I never went there. Cecelia’s classes taught me
volumes about technique and precision, and her small class size gives
you alot of attention. Now she is in NY and has intensive classes in
the summer. In L.A. I wouldn’t know where to go for ancient
techniques. I would look up Bob Hazeltine in Pasadena for fine
jewelry classes, I really learned alot from him.

Good luck!

Cecelia’s and will be happy to answer any questions you have. I

Hi You will learn much more at C. Bauer Studios. Cecelia is the main
teacher and she normally has two assistants that circulate while she
is busy with other students to keep you moving along. She’s an
expert in granulation, chain making and all the classical
techniques. Cecelia and I met at Jewelry Arts where she was an
assistant teacher there and I have the highest regard for her
abilities. You will finish more projects at Cecelia’s workshop
during the intensives than you would imagine.

All the best of luck, you will love the intensives!
