Golden Hand Studios is the studio name of artist, Jeneba Koroma aka Limba Gal (that's me). I'm a jewelry artist and educator located in Chicago, IL. For the past 10 years I have assisted beginners and dabblers alike to explore the fulfilling art of jewelry/metalsmithing.
I have opened up my studio to share my passion and knowledge of jewelry making with others as a way to foster creativity, community and learning. Each workshop is designed to provide, safe, and patient instruction in a non-intimidating, fun, and low-key environment.
