Learn to make things!
Spring 2026 workshops!
Workshops all take place in my studio located in the Paper Mill at 337 route 295, Chatham, NY. More details below!
And if these dates don’t work for you, contact me about one-on-one lessons or about setting up something with a small group! Interested in making something else? Stay tuned for more workshops or reach out about what you would like to see!
Stay tuned for more workshops this summer! I will be offering courses like a 2-day bezel-set pendant class, a sand cast pendant, and an earring class that focuses on fine hand sawing. And, if you are up for a crafty travel adventure, take a look below to see about workshops I am teaching at other craft schools outside of Chatham.
