Why Shared Creative Experiences Become Our Most Meaningful Memories
Some of our most treasured memories aren't tied to the things we own—they're tied to the moments we shared while creating them.
Whether celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, welcoming a new chapter, or simply spending intentional time together, creating something by hand offers an opportunity to slow down, connect, and leave with more than just an object. It leaves us with a story.
That's the inspiration behind my private mobile workshops. Rather than attending a traditional art class, these experiences are designed around the people you're with and the occasion you're celebrating. I bring the workshop to your home, studio, workplace, or event space, creating an intimate and welcoming environment where everyone can participate—regardless of artistic experience.

More Than Making
Many of us remember where we bought a piece of jewelry.
Far fewer remember the afternoon they spent making one alongside a parent, partner, sibling, or lifelong friend.
When we create together, the finished piece becomes a reminder of the experience itself. Every time it's worn or displayed, it carries the memory of the conversations, laughter, milestones, and people who were present.
That is what makes these workshops different.
The focus isn't perfection.
The focus is connection.
Workshops Designed Around Your Story
Every gathering is different.
Some clients are celebrating joyful milestones, while others want to honor someone they love or preserve meaningful materials in a new way.
Each workshop is thoughtfully customized to reflect the people, relationships, and stories that bring everyone together.
Current offerings include:
Wax Carving & Modeling
Design an original piece in wax that can later be cast into metal and/or make a mold of a meaningful object, fill it with wax to make a copy and have your wax model cast in bronze, silver, brass, or gold. This workshop introduces the fundamentals of jewelry design while encouraging creativity and personal storytelling.
Simple Ring Making
Learn to solder and form sterling silver wire into a handmade ring. Perfect for couples, friends, siblings, parents and children, wedding parties, or anyone looking to celebrate a meaningful relationship by creating together.
Meaningful Materials and Bereavement Workshops
Transform found objects, treasured belongings, natural materials, or inherited keepsakes into one-of-a-kind adornments that preserve memories and tell a personal story.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
You don't need to consider yourself artistic.
These workshops are designed to be welcoming, accessible, and enjoyable for beginners while still engaging for those with creative experience.
The goal isn't to create perfect jewelry.
The goal is to create meaningful experiences.
