Private Jewelry Making Lessons

"...same quality of teaching as in the group class, but all the instructions are directed just to you and fit your individual needs. You’ll accomplish so much more work as you’re not waiting for others and there are no distractions. The instructor stays with you until you have completed your piece. The quiet is a nice benefit.”  - Jean

Private Jewelry Making Lessons in Greenville, SC

*If you're looking for private GROUP  or 'party style' classes with pre-determined topics, Check those out here, on the Make + Sip classes page.

Learn one-on-one with Katie! This is a great option for beginners to advanced, particularly for students who wish to work on a specific topic and/or prefer to have exclusive uninhibited one-on-one instructor attention.   Popular topics are those that students repeatedly struggle with (for example: particular soldering situations) or new topics (example: flush setting stones).

Many students, particularly beginners, find that they learn and accomplish more, faster, with one-on-one instruction.   Students repeatedly tell us that they prefer private lessons, and find this type of intimate one-on-one instruction extremely valuable.  

Topics are chosen on a student by student basis, based on the interests and needs of the individual.  Topics range from beginning to advanced, and some sample topics include:

• Enameling
• Cold Connections
• Sawing/Filing/Sanding/Finishing
• Soldering
• Hollow Construction
• Chain Fabrication
• Earrings
• Stone Setting
• Casting + Mold Making
• Findings/Hinges/Clasps
• Patinas
• Surface Textures/treatments
• Etc.

Katie offers a special discounted rate for students looking to book 15 hours or more of private lessons.   Class days/times and number of hours per session are customized to each student.   
*NOTE: When booking 15 hours, the discount will automatically be applied, but you will only be able to book a time for your first lesson here.  We will schedule the other lesson dates when Katie calls to discuss your lessons.  
*Times already taken appear gray when booking and will not be clickable.  

Three Hour Minimum
It's simply too difficult to get anything accomplished during shorter time periods.  Three hours is the standard amount of time allotted to a jewelry course.  Choose from a three hour (one day), six hour (one day), 15 or 18 hour package (split into 3 or 6 hour days at your discretion). 
*three hour minimum may be waived for existing students with prior experience who just need an hour or two to fine-tune a technique or to address issues they're having with techniques.    

All private lessons are on-site at Katie's Greenville, South Carolina Jewelry Studio.  If you are interested in Katie coming to you -- reach out to discuss details.  

Contact Katie ahead of time to discuss more, or book your first set of courses here and now and we'll call you to discuss all the specifics!

Currently, Fridays and Saturdays are reserved for private lessons and appointments.  If Friday and Saturday times are already booked, or if that day doesn't work for you -- reach out to Katie see if any special scheduling is possible.
