"I have taken 3 classes with Dave. He has a kind, patient, and concise teaching style that I appreciate. He gives you tons of information, and keeps a watchful eye on the class, offering helpful tips and techniques as your individual needs require. He also extends himself to any questions you may have after class is over! I have written him many times asking for help and he always responds in a timely fashion. I highly recommend his classes to anyone wanting to learn this beautiful art form. You won't be disappointed!!!"

"I have been wanting to take a silversmithing class for as long as I can remember. My girlfriend and I booked this class in March. WOW! We had a GREAT time. Dave is very patient teaching a class of women! He stayed on task and we all finished AWESOME pieces! I was able to take notes and follow along very well and was VERY happy with my pendant! He and his wife are very nice and the views from the home are breathtaking. I also purchased a starter kit which has gotten me going with my new trade. He also gets each student a student discount for Rio Jewelry Supply. This has been so helpful! I would also like to say that he answers questions even after you have been long gone from class and loves to see what work you are doing. I cannot thank him enough for the knowledge he shares in his classes. I hope to do the intermediate someday. I highly recommend this class! I would spend a lot of time watching You Tube videos on beginner classes before hand so that the lingo makes sense if you have never done this type of thing before!"

"I highly recommend these classes. I have taken several classes from Dave over the years and he has proved to be a very capable teacher who is easy to understand and very helpful. He also provided written documentation for the processes and procedures and also gave us information as to where to purchase our supplies. Something other teachers don’t do. I didn’t have to bring anything with me in order to create pieces I chose as he provided all the tools for each class. Dave was encouraging as I worked through my projects and even would sit down one on one for extra help. I can’t say enough about how much I have learned from these classes as I go on to create my own pieces for sale or to giveaway. I proudly took pictures with the class to show off my talent that Dave helped me to develop."

"I absolutely loved the course taught by Dave! After taking the course I was able to make a multitude of items. What’s more, he continues to mentor his students and has always made himself available."

"I took this class a few years back. Dave taught me the basics in silversmithing and now I am a Master silversmith! The class is VERY well run with expert teaching skills. He also made himself available for questions after the class. I highly recommend this class for beginners to advance silversmiths. I have also have included some pics of my work that without this class and Dave ,I could not have achieved my success. Thanks Dave!"
