Metalsmithing: Handcrafted Jewelry

Illuminate Your Path

Indio Sage Kids started in 2010 and expanded to include metalsmithing in 2017. These classes were created from a passion for ART • FOOD • LIFE. With a background in education, I take great pleasure in teaching students the art of jewelry making and the importance of food education.

Discovering the Joy of Jewelry Making

Metalsmithing classes are designed for beginners. I offer challenges for all levels.

In this class, you will learn essential skills, such as:

• Creative ideas: Thinking outside the box and thinking creatively will result in unique wearable art.

• Metal Manipulation: Techniques for bending, shaping, texturing, and antiquing metal to create unique designs.

• Finishing Techniques: Skills in cleaning and polishing or creating a patina bring jewelry to the perfect finish in the creator's mind’s eye.

Crafting an Entrepreneurial Mindset

While I focus on the art of jewelry-making, I also plant seeds of entrepreneurship. Many students express interest in turning their skills into a profitable side hustle. Knowing how to craft quality jewelry paired with thinking-outside-the-box marketing strategies– and having a basic understanding of business– provides a foundation of understanding that success comes from willingness, consistency, and drive.

The Health Benefits of Creative Endeavors

Did you know that engaging in creative activities can significantly enhance your mental well-being? Research shows that creativity boosts dopamine levels in the brain, which helps regulate mood and reduce stress. Additionally, this type of creativity enhances focus and hand-eye coordination, leading to improved cognitive function overall.
