Assisted Hours: 2 hours

Assisted Studio Hours are designed for makers who have some experience but want a little extra guidance while getting back into the flow. These sessions offer more support than a drop-in, but less structure than a full class.

Bring your own project, work at your own pace, and receive hands-on help as needed with tools, technique refreshers, troubleshooting, or next-step direction. It’s a supportive space for rusty beginners and returning students. 

Perfect for continuing a project, practicing skills, or easing back into the studio with an experienced instructor nearby.

What’s Included:

• Tools and equipment

• Solder, flux, and basic consumable

• Occasional guidance and reminders from the instructor

• Independent work time with safety supervision nearby

Not Included:

• Stones, metal, wire, or other project materials

• Instruction in new techniques

• Detailed design planning or step-by-step project guidance

*** If you are looking to learn new techniques or develop a project design, please consider enrolling in a CORE class or the Jewelry Design Workshop.

*** If you would like to purchase silver, stones, or sheet metal, we carry a modest selection in-house for convenience and the ability to see and handle materials before purchasing.
