"This was my second silver textured jewelry class with Jolynn. She is an excellent instructor. Her class gives you a new appreciation for what it takes to make jewelry. The class size is perfect. Each person creates their own unique pieces. So it’s great to see the variety. If you’re looking for a class where you can have fun, unleash your creativity, and make wearable art this one is it! I will definitely be signing up for another one of Jolynn’s classes."- MBN
