Laurie Union Jewelry Instructor

I love working with metal and teaching. I was trained by a master metalsmith Deb Jemmott. I studied with Deb for over 12 years. Deb encouraged us to take other classes by other great Metalsmiths. 

I made a rule for myself, I would have to be able to teach just about any fabrication technique and fix problems that could occur or engineer a variant, to be able to work with students from beginner to advanced. I started teaching in 2017 and absolutely love it.

My strengths are both in Teaching Jewelry Design, Jewelry Techniques and helping you reach your metalsmithing goals. Methodology i use starts with Fabrication - actually manipulating wire and sheet, not wax.  I work predominantly in various SIlver and Silver alloys as well as Gold and Gold alloys.
