Many of these classes are taught in a «Ladies Night» or «Friends night» out setting with a casual atmosphere, where students are able to socialize with friends while creating a piece (or pieces) of jewelry they will be proud to wear or give as a gift.

Other opportunities for fun are adult and children’s birthday parties, summer craft and art camps for kids, «date nights», and team building and networking events for professionals.

Focus is on having fun while working in a professional setting with a high regard for the safety of the students and instructors.

We also participate with Salt Lake Gallery Stroll and showcase the art of up and coming local artists.

History

Established in 2013.

Amy Schmidt, a New York transplant who has been making jewelry in many different techniques and mediums for over 20 years, was disappointed upon moving to Utah and not being able to find a space that was dedicated to teaching the craft of jewelry making. After finding the odd class being offered in town and traveling to other parts of the country to attend specialized workshops in jewelry making she decided to open her own studio where locals with a desire to learn could take classes and make use of a studio outside their homes. In the short time the studio has been open a small community of makers has formed where new students are learning techniques, ideas are being shared and friends are being made.
