Artisans of Metal and Thread

"Amazing teacher/ jeweler with so much great insight! I had a lot of fun taking classes from Barbara and hope to take more in the future."

"Barbara is a highly skilled jeweler and most of all a skilled teacher. I have been taking classes the past year and have greatly improved my skills from art classes taken years back. I am able to learn new techniques and love how she can show me how to correct mistakes. I look forward to continuing to make my contemporary designs come to life."

"Barbara is absolutely amazing! Her work is beautiful and she is very skilled. She has a wonderful jewelry background and is a long-standing member of the metal Smith community. Her classes are top-notch, and the skills you gain from them set you up for success! She has a wealth of knowledge and is warm and friendly. Very easy to talk to. Her shop is full of beautiful and unique pieces all from her own design. She uses sterling and gold to make her creations and seeks out only the most beautiful stones. Barbara also does custom work. Her wedding rings are stunning! I highly recommend Artisans of Metal and Thread."

"Barbara is a wonderful teacher. I have worked with her for years. I came to her knowing nothing about metal working, and she methodically and patiently taught me how to bring my vision to life. She is always there to help you along your way. Serious craftspeople and people that just want to have fun creating can benefit from her knowledge. I highly recommend her."

"My husband and I booked a class with Barbara and made our own custom rings with her. She was knowledgeable, patient and kind. We hope to return again for another visit!"
