About

About this class

Open Studio in BARN’s fully-equipped Jewelry and Fine Metals Studio provides members and guests a collaborative environment to pursue self-directed work, whether it’s to finish projects from classes or to work on independent projects. BARN provides tools and basic shop supplies. 

A trained safety monitor is always on duty. However, Open Studio is not like a class where instruction can be given.

Prerequisite

A Skills Card is required for all Open Studio participants. A Skills Card identifies the tools and equipment that you have been cleared to work on. You can acquire a Skills Card by attending one of these BARN classes: Introduction to Jewelry Skills, Introduction to the Jeweler's Torch, Introduction to Lapidary, Introduction to Enameling and others. Jewelers with previous experience can request a skills assessment by emailing jewelry.programming@bainbridgebarn.org 

Materials

  • Please bring your own towels for all studio activities. 

Class Policies

  • Members free; non-members $20.

  • Registration is required for all members and guests.

  • There are 5 spots available for general studio use and 3 spots available for using the lapidary equipment. You will specify which type when you register. 

  • Please click here for BARN's current COVID-19 health & safety protocols.

She graduated from the University of North Texas where she studied with Harlan Butt and has continued her education through classes with masters, apprenticeships, trade school training, skill-building classes, and lots of bench time. She believes in learning by doing, listening to others’ experiences, and looking at how things are made around you. Her main focus right now is wax carving, fabrication, chasing, and repoussé. She works mostly with silver, gold, steel, rock, and semi-precious and precious stones to create pieces to be worn and enjoyed.
