Deb loves to teach and is willing to travel to offer metalsmithing classes in your area or you can arrange for a small group or individual class at her home studio in Arden, just outside of Asheville, NC. Classes range from three hours to multi-day, depending on your interest and the challenge of the class or classes you choose. All the tools and materials needed for classes are provided, so participants don't have to spend lots of money on tools in order to take a class. Use the contact page on the website to begin a conversation about your interests and we will get started on your journey to becoming a more experienced jewelry artist.
Deb will be teaching at the Montreat Craft Week September 25-30, 2022. Visit HERE to find out more!
