The Makery

The Makery Workshops in jewelry making, plus handcrafted jewelry and original modern art. Occasionally we'll post links to products available on our website or elsewhere.

We’re creating a place where you can learn, play, and connect with other people who want to slow down and live intentional, curated, meaningful lives. Take a class, join us for one of our special events, or spend some time at an open studio day. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming place where you can throw open the doors to the part of you that wants to leave a mark, work with your hands, a

nd create something lasting. In 2017, we expanded our reach with the launch of Makery University, our online learning platform featuring LIVE workshops with nationally known metalsmiths Francesca Watson and Gwen Youngblood. Product links to sites other than our own may be affiliate links, which means that while you don't get charged any more for purchasing the product, we earn a small commission for referring you to it. This additional income, although small, helps us to keep our studio doors open. We're grateful for your support!

We're taking our annual summer sabbatical, and the studio is closed (and we're off social media!) until we reopen on Wednesday, September 2nd. You can still register for workshops while we're away by visiting our website at www.makeryarts.com. We hope you've had a wonderful summer, and we're looking forward to welcoming you to the studio sometime this fall!

Francesca's email has been spoofed - not hacked, but someone is sending emails pretending to be her. Francesca and Ashley each received them (which is kind of funny) but we're concerned that someone is going to fall for something nefarious.

So here are some tips:

Check the sender's email - if it's from Francesca (or anyone at the studio) it will have a makeryarts.com address

All of her real emails have a signature block with the name of the studio, our address, etc.

If it looks suspicious ... call the studio (830.980.9089) or send us an email ([email protected]) and check with us.

Join Francesca for a start-to-finish project demonstrating how to make a simple soldered pendant, from bezel wire and sheet metal to a finished piece. Perfect for beginners — no metalsmithing experience required! — this is a great opportunity to see how the fundamentals of soldering come together to make a wearable piece. And there will be a live Q&A at the end so you can get all your questions answered.
