Personal Day Class in KNOX CITY, TX
If you would prefer a setting where you recieve one-on-one instruction, I am now offering personal day classes from my own shop in Knox City, TX!
This class is tailored specifically to you, and the peices that you want to learn to build. Each class will be different depending on what it is that the student is interested in covering. We are typically able to complete 2-3 projects, but the number of pieces will depend on how intricate the designs are. We will work in sterling silver. No prior experience is required for this class, all materials and tools are provided. Students will also go home with a very detailed list of tools and materials they might use in their own shop, as well as my personal phone number for any future questions about smithing!
Lunch is provided, typically from the local mexican or pizza restaurants near the shop. There is also a mini fridge available if you would like to bring extra drinks and snacks. If you need Air BnB reccomendations, let me know! We do have a few in the area at different price points.
Personal classes are $1250 for the day with a $300 nonrefundable deposit to hold your class date. The deposit will go toward the total of your class.
Reach out to me below and we can discuss what you would like to learn, as well as dates that would be available!
