Torched AVL

"I recently took the Lost Wax Casting Class and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The workshop space is amazing with every tool you could imagine!! It was an awesome opportunity to play with expensive machines I'd never used, and to mingle with other crafts people expanding their jewelry making skillsets. Nora and Meredith were the best, personable and extremely knowledgeable in their craft. They took the extra time to brainstorm creative techniques to achieve each of our visions, and in the process, introduced us to a ton new tools and techniques. Love what Torched is doing (classes & co-working space) and I plan to take more classes soon!"

"A wonderful experience! Meredith and Nora are talented instructors who will guide you through every step of the way, so don't fear the fire! The studio is beautiful, inclusive and welcoming. My husband and I took a jewelry class, and we loved it so much I came back for another class the next day. I believe they have other art classes available, and open studio time, as well. Highly recommend!"

"A friend and I took at class at Torched AVL and it was great! The studio is conveniently located in west Asheville with parking. There were plenty of classes on their calendar with online scheduling. Meredith greeted us before the class and set us at ease. Nora was our instructor to make twisted hoop earrings. She was knowledgeable and encouraging and went step-by-step, making sure we got all the details correct. The studio was well equipped with a station for each student as well as all the tools and equipment needed. We cut, filed, fired and hammered our way to a lovely set of earrings. Nora made sure there were no flaws in our finished product. I already wore my new earrings! Highly recommend taking a class or two at Torched AVL."

"This place is simply amazing. We had the opportunity to make our own rings. Meredith and Jenny were Great. They walked us thru step by step thru the whole process. Took time to explain every aspect, tools and techniques. They didnt rush us. Stood by and helped is at every moment. So friendly, smiles. Good vibes. They hold classes to teach you. So first date, vacation, something to do, have fun with the kids. This is the best place for it. Kid friendly to. Thank you, we had a blast."

"Had so much fun making stacker rings and earrings with my husband! Meredith was a great instructor and was very attentive. The bonus is that there is a dog that hangs out there. Will definitely have to come back to take more classes."
