• 5/5 from Victoria Michalski, attended May 2026: My mom and I absolutely loved this workshop. Jeneba, in addition to being an absolute gem of a human being, does a fantastic job walking through the tools, techniques, and process of metalsmithing in a way that removes all intimidation from such an equipment-heavy fabrication process. It was such a unique experience, and I really appreciated how customizable the project was. My mom and I ended up choosing completely different ring styles, which made the class even more interesting because we got to see different techniques demonstrated across our two projects. The pace was great, the instruction was thoughtful and patient. We’ll definitely be back for another class!

• 5/5 from Natalie Imazu, attended Feb 2026: Class was intimate and I love the finished brass and stirling silver rings. :) Jeneba was a wonderful instructor and person, let us independently work but also checked in on me often and was ready for any help or questions I had. My two other classmates were quite lovely as well and their projects came out very nice. I would highly recommend this class (I was a beginner), definitely was worth the time and cost, and the materials fee was very afforable. Wish I could have taken another of her classes, but I wasn't in town long enough. Next time! And it would go without saying, but just in case, would recommend!

• 5/5 from Joe Walsh, attended Sep 2025: I attended the stackable rings class and it was an excellent time; going from raw material to two rings in three hours was a fantastically satisfying feeling. Jeneba was incredibly knowledgeable and gave extensive insight and advice to any questions that were asked. Not only in jewellery, Jeneba made us feel welcomed and was happy to chat about plenty of things! There were only two of us in the class with Jeneba, and therefore it felt incredibly personal and ‘hands on’ whenever either of us were struggling. The was plenty with the three of us, however, I feel it could end up being a little congested with a full class of six attendees and Jeneba! Though, I’m sure there would be plenty of space to accommodate all the required tools etc., It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon - thank you, Jeneba! Highly recommended!
• 5/5 from Carrie Dzike, attended Aug 2025: We had a lovely "girls day" ring making class with Jeneba. She was very warm and friendly and made us all feel at easy upon walking into the studio. Having never tried to make jewelry before, Jeneba made it really easy to follow along and we all turned out to make great stacking rings. 10/10, would jewelry again :)
