Mulberry, Arkansas. USA
I have designed and made jewelry for 10+ years working mostly with
sterling silver findings and my own polymer clay beads and pendants.
I have dreamed of learning the real, true skills of jewery crafting,
not just stringing and I am so glad to have found my way here. I am
addicted to the benchtube and feel like I have already learned so
many things! Just starting out and working mostly in copper at the
moment but can’t wait to get my hands on some precious metal soon.

I am a beginning jeweler who has taken several semesters of
metalsmithing and enameling at Glassell School of Art. I stopped
taking classes about 5 years ago when I had a baby - now she’s going
to Kindergarten and I want to get back into it.

Tracy Johnson
Harpswell, Maine. USA
I started making jewelry while attending High School over 30 years
ago. I just cant seem to stop making jewelry! My most favorite time
is at the bench when I have the freedom to make new discoveries and
create something that is both beautiful and complimentary to the
wearer. Gemstones have a central focus in my work as color is a
primary motivater in my design process. I enjoy working with people
and creating custom pieces that have special meaning for the client.

Brian Beiriger
San Jose, CA. USA
I am a goldsmith currently working for a national jewelry chain,
plus taking commissions and repairs on the side in my free time. I
have a fair amount of experience across the board, but have only
been actually working in the industry for the past 2.5 years. My
education in this field consists of a few years’ study at a local JC
and, more recently, the JTI program through Revere Academy, SF, CA.
Most of my work experience has been typical bench work - sizing,
setting and repairs - in gold and platinum dealing mostly with
diamonds/rubies/sapphires, though I’ve dabbled in everything from l
apidary work to enameling to mokume gane.
