Classes
Teaching is one of my favorite parts of the creative process. I bring the same curiosity, honesty, and hands-on problem-solving into the classroom that I use in my own work — plus a healthy dose of humor and encouragement. My goal is to meet each student where they are, support their exploration, and help them build the skills (and confidence) to keep creating long after class ends.
I currently teach at BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network) on Bainbridge Island, WA, where I’ve helped develop lapidary and jewelry programs and serve on the Jewelry Studio Steering Committee. New classes are added quarterly — you can view current offerings at BainbridgeBARN.org.

Since 2019, I’ve been building and teaching lapidary classes designed to make stone cutting approachable, creative, and (let’s be honest) a little addictive. Over time, I’ve expanded to offer a variety of other jewelry-focused classes — always centered around process, play, and real-world techniques that students can carry forward.
Whether you’re new to the studio or returning for the next challenge, you’ll leave class with new skills, completed work, and ideas you can’t wait to try next. We get messy, we get inspired, and we always keep learning.
