JEWELERS GUILD CLASS FAQ’S

 

What if I don’t know what to make?

You can check Pinterest or Instagram for some inspiration prior to class.  We will also have some designs to get you started.

Do I need to have experience?

We offer many beginner classes however some classes do require experience.  Please check the class description to find out.

What supplies will I need to bring?

For most classes the supplies and tools are furnished.  Please check the class description to find out. If you have a favorite set of tools you are welcome to bring them.  For longer classes you might want to bring a lunch. Other than that just yourself, your curiosity and ideas and maybe some friends!

What should I wear?

You must wear closed toed shoes that cover the top of your foot (tennis shoes or boots are great, ballet flats are not). Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. No scarves, or flowing garments, please! Hair should be securely tied back (ponytail, bun, or braid is great!).

Is there an age limit?

We offer a variety of classes for all ages.  However, some classes have an age limit due to the tools that are used (sharp knives, exactos, etc.).

What if the class is sold out?

We have a waiting list.  Just drop us an email and if anyone drops out of the class we will notify you.  We run workshops monthly so you’ll likely get another chance!

What if I don’t finish my piece?

Our plan is to send you home with a finished piece but there is no pressure to finish!  At the very least you will leave with new knowledge and the ability to finish your project at home.  If you find you need tools that you don’t have or that you would like to continue creating, we rent out benches in our workshop at a hourly/daily/weekly rate.  To learn more about bench rentals, visit our website, www.jewelersguild.biz
