    Most Patient Teacher

    I just completed Jewelry 1, with Nikki as the instructor and I was so impressed with her teaching ability and patience! Nikki made the class enjoyable and, because she was so kind, even making mistakes and having her correct them was no big deal. Thank you!

    Exceeded my expectations!

    Nikki and Johanna are patient, encouraging, and so good at teaching beginners! The studio space is clean and well-equipped. I made two beautiful rings and a pair of earrings that I will keep forever :) They get 10 stars from me!
