We understand that plans can change. Since we are currently a pop-up workshop, we only allow an attendance of approximately 10 people at each event.  We often sell out. If you are unable to make it, it unfortunately it means we might not have space for another person. Rather than refunding, we would be glad to honor your deposit as a credit for you to book a workshop at a future date.

We provide all necessary materials for the workshop, including tools and supplies. Just bring yourself and your creativity! If there are any specific requirements for a workshop (such as attire), it will be mentioned in the class description on our website.

Remember to pack your reading glasses if you need assistance seeing up close! You will also want
to bring your water to drink and choose to pack a few snacks if creating makes
you hungry!

We only use high quality metals (such as .925 sterling and fine silver) and semi-precious gemstones. Our goal is to leave you with your new favorite one of a kind piece that will last for decades!

If you wish to bring your own gem, we will only work with cabochon cut stones that our team has inspected and deems safe to work with. We will not take the risk of working with any heirloom gems or gems that have sentimental value due to the high risk of damage throughout you learning the metalsmithing process.
