Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there! We hope you have a wonderful day, and know how valued you are!
The studio will be closed to celebrate Mother's day with our moms this Sunday. 

Tip of the week: To anneal wire, stick it in something like an Altoids tin and heat the tin up with a torch until it glows orange(make sure the tin has a couple of air holes in it!). This is especially useful when you have very fine wire and are afraid of melting it. •Special thank you to Victoria from ASU Metals program for the tip!

It has been a productive week here at the studio!We've been working hard on renovating the space and are excited for you to see it!

Below are some pieces made in Jewelry 1, 2, 3 and at the studio during open studio hours.


• Trina made these earrings and did her first ever tube setting in Jewelry 2. Love the champagne stones she picked out!

• Karen made this bubble ring and banded agate earrings. She is taking Jewelry 1 and really taking off making pieces at home! Twisted wire around the stones is a great addition to add to your cabochon settings.
