Gina works wonders with beginners! Cris C. 2010
As someone who is all thumbs, I am delighted to say that in 3 classes with Gina, I am making jewelry that looks like it was purchased in fancy gift shops. Gina patiently and with humor guides students though practice and creation of pieces to take home. Lots of fun!

Gina was very good teacher. She is encouraging, funny, patient and gives easy to follow directions. Her class was very enjoyable and educational.

It was fun!    Patty S. 2010
Very hands on. Gina is great, very personable, and was always available to assist when needed. She gave clear instructions and practice time. Very large assortment of materials to work with. Class was a nice size so you could get personal help from Gina if you needed. I will return for additional classes.

Relaxing FunDiane M. 2010
Gina was obviously knowledgable but laid back , she made learning a new skill very enjoyable. She was there to answer questions and guide me through every step of the process but the end result was entirely due to my creativity and that made me feel really good about myself. The class made me want to learn more with jewelry making.

Gina is the perfect instructor to get you inspiredPatricia B. 2010
Gina's studio is convenient and relaxing. Her classes tend to be small so you do not have problems getting questions answered or assistance with new techniques. Gina's fine art's background has provided her with a great appreciation of jewelry aesthetics throughout the ages, so she is not stuck in any one narrow taste range.
The class I took was one where you can select a piece of jewelry that you love from a catalog such as Sundance or Chico's and get assistance in creating it yourself for a fraction of the cost. Great fun!

You will love herLisa M. 2010
You will be addicted to Gina's classes. She will have you making things you never thought you could - the right way! She is very hands on and has endless patience and lots of humor. Her experience both as an artist and a teacher are obvious. Not only do you to make a piece of art, you come away from the class feeling like you just had an great outing with your friends.

Wonderful TeacherJenn H. 2010
I have taken classes with Gina myself, and so has my daughter. She does a great job teaching everything from basic art principles to complex metalsmithing techniques. She is my go-to person for any question relating to beading, jewelry repairs, stones(she knows the Mohs hardness of most anything!), etc.

Talented Artist who can teachDeb C, 2009
Gina's classes strike the perfect balance between structured instruction and freedom for self expression and creativity. She is an effective teacher who is engaging, encouraging, patient, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Her classes and studio accurately reflect her as a teacher and artist. They are informal but professional, fun, interesting , unique, and provide a great learning experience.

Professional but relaxedKim B. 2009
I am a newbie to jewelry making and found Gina very friendly yet worked us through the techniques until we were proficient. I have since taken 3 classes and enjoyed all of them. She is more concerned with you creating quality products then how long it takes. I often go over the class time and she is very patient. Well worth the investment.

Great IntroductionJon F.2009
Gina packed a lot in in 2 hours, and I left with a basic understanding of technique, construction, and four completed projects. I'm excited to take another course or two from her.
