I was introduced to metal arts 38yrs. ago at San Francisco State College. Imogene Gieling was my instructor thru my undergraduate and graduate years. I had the good fortune to work w/Larry Van Craeynest for about a year and a quarter. Shortly therafter,I was offered a position to teach jewelry to kids of all ages thru SFR&P. Thiry-two years later we are still going strong.In addition to the Sharon Art Studio program, i have been been instructing at the Richmond Art Center,in Richmond CA for the past 13 years.
