Salt City Smithery

"I took a silversmithing class through the University of Utah and it was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot and had a great time doing so. Can't wait for the next course!"

"23 years ago, I asked my wife to marry me on Maui. I had never worn a ring before, and I wanted to find something special. We stumbled upon a cute little shop on the Hana coast, and I found this very cool, distinctive ring. I considered it my warmup to condition my finger for my "true wedding band." But as fate would have it, I bonded with the warmup band because it is so distinctive. My wife and I became concerned that the band would break, and we would lose that distinctiveness forever. While spending a few weeks in Utah, I decided it was time to look up a quality silversmith to restore it. I called Amy over the weekend right at 5 pm...closing time. I remember thinking that they probably won't pick up. And I'm so glad Amy did. She quickly suggested I take some photos and video and send it to her to see what she could do. She called me back right away. The next day I stopped by her shop, and she worked her magic while I got lunch. Can you imagine my surprise when she showed it to me? As you can see from the before/after pictures, it looks brand new. Seeing her great work, I then asked her if she could duplicate it. And of course, she said, no problem and will have it done before I drive back to Montana in a few weeks. I cannot wait to surprise my wife. To top it off, I also found the perfect Mother's Day gift in some very cool earrings. I'm confident you'll find Amy, her staff, and her lovely dog Jack just as friendly & helpful as I did. Cheers! – Bart Bruns, Missoula, MT. Pros: Master craftsman Kind and generous Excellent customer service Unique variety of jewelry Reasonable prices Cons: None that I can think of! Ok, there is one. You have to go behind the State Farm Business to find her special shop tucked away. Overall: I highly recommend Amy & her team to anyone looking for high-quality jewelry. She is a true sliver craftsman, and she takes great pride in her work. She is also appears to be a very kind and generous person. Do not hesitate to get her a try."

"I spent the afternoon at Salt City Smithery today and can't say enough what an amazing experience it was! I have never had an opportunity to work with stones and silver and my teenage girls and I loved creating unique jewelry with the help of Amy and her assistants. The environment was welcoming and the teaching was perfect for a beginner. Highly recommend! Hope to go back soon!"

"I have taken classes from Jan (metalsmithing 2 and lapidary) and Amy (metalsmithing 1) and I've learned a lot!"

"Amy is very knowledgeable and gave such great advice on tackling some of my hardest silversmithing problems like forming thick wire perfectly and setting multiple tiny bezels at the same time. As a beginner, I felt safe working with silver under her guidance. I can’t recommend SCS enough!"
