Make Happy Art Studio

Janet Kornegay has been a maker and teacher her entire life. Growing up in a family where creating art and DIY projects was the norm, she developed a lifelong passion for hands-on making. Trained as a scientist, Janet has taught science at every level -- from elementary school to graduate programs -- starting when she was still in high school. She recently retired after 25 years in biotech.Janet is the founder of Make Happy Art Studio and has been teaching jewelry making and mixed media workshops since 2015. Her classes cover torch-fired enameling, fused fine silver, wire and beaded jewelry, and mixed metal assemblage using cold connections. She has also led mixed media workshops, including altered tins (pocket ofrendas) and gelli printing.There’s no craft Janet isn’t excited to try, and she continually seeks new techniques and media to bring into her classes.
