Retreat Details: March 13th – 15th, 2026

Treat yourself to three unforgettable days in my personal studio, where creativity flows, ideas spark, and you’ll be surrounded by inspiration. This immersive retreat is designed not just to teach techniques but to ignite your imagination and give you the space to create something truly extraordinary.


Days 1 & 2 – Combining Metal Clay with Fabricated Silver
Two full days in the studio, completely devoted to exploring the magical marriage of metal clay and silver fabrication. You’ll begin by shaping and designing with metal clay—adding textures, sculptural tops, and detailed accents—then learn how to seamlessly combine them with the strength and polish of fabricated sterling bands and frames. Along the way, I’ll guide you through the best joining methods, from torch to kiln to solder, giving you the confidence to know when and how to use each. By the end of our time together, you’ll have created a striking hybrid piece that blends the organic artistry of clay with the timeless beauty of silver. This is more than just a class—it’s a deep dive into technique, design, and creative possibility.


Day 3 – Your Masterpiece, Your Way
Choose from my gallery of over 20 inspiring project ideas—or let them spark your own design twist. You’ll have the freedom to customize, play with textures, and infuse your unique personality into the project, while still following a clear guide to success. I’ll be right there with you, offering hands-on support and sharing extra tips and techniques so your vision can fully shine. By the end, you’ll walk away not only with a breathtaking finished piece, but also the confidence and inspiration to keep creating long after the workshop ends.

I’m known for being a generous teacher—no question is off-limits, and I share my knowledge freely. With the personal attention you’ll receive and the relaxed pace of our time together, don’t be surprised if I throw in bonus skills and cover more than what’s even listed! You’ll also receive handouts of the techniques and a full written tutorial for the project of choice, so you can recreate the magic at home.

Whether you’re brand new to metal clay or ready to expand your advanced skills, this time in the studio will be all about learning, experimenting, and creating work you love.
