Student One-on-Ones
Anything is possible in my one-on-ones. Imagine a class curriculum that is catered perfectly to you. You’ll learn everything you want to – and nothing you don’t. For these special residencies, I work with you to design a 3 to 5 day intensive that focuses on exactly what you want to focus on and the skills you’d like to learn or hone.
For these one-on-ones, I accept any level of student wanting to learn a multitude of skills, including zero experience to intermediate. We’ll work together to design the curriculum. Some examples of previous student focuses include:
Soldering
Fabrication
Wax carving
Foundational bezel setting
Advanced faceted setting
Basic engraving
Finishing and polishing
One-on-one classes include all materials needed in sterling to construct a piece start to finish. And you’ll have full access to my gems and gold if you want to purchase any higher end items to include in your design. I will also share all of my sources for stones, vintage chain, marketing, website building, photography, etc. Since it’s just you and me, hangin’ out in the studio, we really get to cover all bases. The world is your oyster, the possibilities are endless!
Other helpful logistics: One-on-one classes start at $900/day. Students will need to book their own lodging (if not local) in one of the surrounding towns. My studio is located in Bingen, WA, near White Salmon, WA and Hood River, OR. There are tons of gorgeous rentals in the area and the Society Hotel is a great option as well with both budget and fancier options. For all one-on-ones, half of payment is due up front to reserve your spot and the rest is due at the start of class.
