About the Instructor
"Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in the act of creating. From my first mud pie in the driveway I knew there was something special about being able to create by hand. It was not until I took a metalwork and jewelry design course at the University of Michigan in 1994 that I truly fell in love with metal and knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I completed my BFA from the University of Michigan with a concentration in Metalwork and Jewelry Design in 1997 and then went on to acquire my Master of Art in 2001 from California State University Fullerton. I have been teaching art classes since 1998 and teaching metalworking since 2007. There is nothing better than being able to share my passion with others."
