I started taking jewelry classes about 10 years ago. I have been experimenting with metal ever since. I loved and still love that there is always a new technique or new way to make pieces with metal. I feel fortunate that I get to teach both our youth and adults at a local industrial arts school. I also assist at one of our local community colleges. It is amazing to watch people explore their creative side and in some cases push themselves to try something new or a little scary (fire).
