I love Shandra's story because when we first spoke she wasn't fulfilled with her work. She wanted more. So she changed her whole life!

She was one of my very first online metalsmithing and business students and she is rocking it.

Actually she helped me create our entry level business program and now she has a thriving business.

Her work is incredible, as you can see ☺

You can find more on her page Jewelry Co.

I know you have always wanted to be a silversmith too, that you're craving more fulfillment, passion and creativity in your life.

Silversmithing provides all of it. Many people have told me that our courses have changed their life.

I'd love for it to change yours too.

We have a summer silversmithing sale running until the end of August. 50% off! I've never done that before.

I also have a metalsmithing and dream business bundle that includes everything Shandra has taken and helped me build.

You can find our courses from the link below!

Can't wait to help you shine!

If a small voice has ever told you that you should have started years ago, I want to gently set that thought aside for you.

It is not too late. It has never been too late. Some of the happiest, most dedicated makers I have taught came to this craft well after they thought their time for learning new things had passed. They sat down, made a first ring, and only wished they had begun sooner, not that they had begun younger.

Skills like this are not reserved for a certain age or a certain kind of person. They are for anyone curious enough to try. You bring the curiosity, and I will walk you through the rest, step by step, at your own pace.

Every course is on sale right now. Wherever you are in life, this is a wonderful moment to begin.

My brand new jewelry studio! This is a dream come true but I started out without a studio and so can you.

“I’ve always wanted to be a silversmith” is what I hear all the time from people that come into my school.

That is why I created my online courses, because it doesn’t take having your own studio, or thousands of dollars in tools.

It takes starting with what you have. The dream of making handcrafted jewelry.

Silversmithing is just the beginning too! It opens you up to a whole world of possibilities with creating, yes, but also with living from a place of fulfillment and passion in life.

And precious metals as an asset which leads to wealth building which leads to business and on and on.

This is what silversmithing started for me. And so many others.

Almost all of the images I share on this page are the work of my students. Incredible designers and people that I love having in my life.

They all started somewhere too.

All the pieces on my table, you can make also. I show you how in my courses, which are all 50% off until the end of this month.

“Thank you for changing my life. I’m forever grateful”

“My husband has never seen me this happy.”

“This has literally changed my life.”

Come change your life like these women! Find creativity, fulfillment and purpose in your daily life.

It doesn’t take having a studio😊

I’ll put the link to the courses below.

One of the things I love about silversmithing is how well it fits into a real life, in every season of it.

On slow mornings, it is a quiet way to start the day. On long evenings, it is a project to lose yourself in. During busy stretches, you set it down without guilt and pick it up again when things ease, exactly where you left off. It bends around your life rather than demanding you rearrange everything for it.

That is what makes it something you keep coming back to for years, not just a passing interest. The bench is always there, ready whenever you are, whether you have ten minutes or a whole afternoon.

With every course on sale right now and lifetime access included, you can begin whenever it suits you and let it grow with you through every season.

I know starting something new can sit on the to-do list for a while. You think about it, you bookmark it, you tell yourself you will get to it eventually. If that is you, consider this a warm nudge.

There is no perfect moment, and no level of readiness you need to reach first. Almost everyone starts with zero background, from their own kitchen table, with a small box of tools. You simply begin, and I walk you through the rest, step by step, at your own pace.

With every course on sale right now, this is a wonderful time to turn someday into started.

Whenever you are ready, the door is open, and I would love to see you inside.

There are countless jewelry makers in the world, and not one of them will make a piece quite the way you will.

That is the part I love most about teaching this craft. Once you have the techniques, what you create becomes an expression of you. The stones you are drawn to, the shapes you favor, the little details that quietly become your signature. Two people can learn the exact same skills and go on to make work that looks nothing alike. Your taste, your eye, and your story all show up in the metal.

The techniques are just the beginning. What you build on top of them is entirely your own.

Every course is on sale right now. Come discover what your work looks like.

Here is a small thing that makes people fall in love with silversmithing fast. Texture.

Round wire, square wire, half round, low dome, wide, thin. A few taps of a hammer, a textured surface, a little shaping, and suddenly a plain band becomes something with real character. There are so many ways to make a ring, and once you learn the foundations, you get to play with all of them.

That is the joy of this craft. It is endlessly creative. I always tell students to practice everything from the intro course to build confidence, and before long they are making stacks of textured rings they are proud to wear and happy to show off.

Jolene put it simply after her class:

"I loved this class. I enjoyed every second of it."

Intro to Silversmithing is $100 off right now as part of the sale, and it is the perfect place to start playing.

There is a moment I love watching happen. A student who was nervous at the start holds up a finished ring, and you can see it on her face. She did that. And she is a little bit prouder, a little bit braver, than she was a few weeks before.

Learning silversmithing gives you more than a skill. It gives you proof that you can pick up something new, work through the tricky parts, and create something real with your own two hands. That confidence has a way of spilling into the rest of your life.

Almost everyone starts with zero background and surprises themselves. You will too.

One student wrote in during her course:

"I am really loving the way you explain things and am so glad I signed up!"

Every course is on sale right now. Come surprise yourself.
