Focused in-person coaching for an existing permanent jewelry artist at our Redlands office. Bring a specific technique, question, or problem to work on individually.

$995 · Private one-to-one training
Comprehensive beginner training at our Redlands office for someone preparing to offer permanent jewelry. Learn equipment setup, materials, welding and troubleshooting, sizing and fitting, the customer process, pricing, sourcing, and business preparation.
This is not a group class. Includes use of our equipment, designated practice materials, written resources, a vendor list to help you source supplies affordably, and one scheduled 30-minute private Zoom follow-up. Training and coaching only: no take-home starter kit, welder, or resale inventory is included.
Practice uses designated materials. Standard practice materials are included in the listed in-person sessions. Finished jewelry is separate; the $25 jewelry-appointment reservation is a different service.
For event organizers & local businesses
A scheduled demonstration, an “Ask a Jewelry Artist” conversation, or a planned hands-on activity can add something memorable alongside our jewelry booth.
We’ll work through timing, space, staffing, and participation together so the activity fits your event and our jewelry service.
Free-to-watch demonstrations and organizer booking arrangements are different. We confirm any host fees or purchase commitments in your proposal.
A little shared know-how
Have a technique to refine or a question to work through? Bring it to a focused artist session, with time to discuss the choices behind your work.
Ask about our Sunstone setup, including the Zapp Plus 2, or a focused session on technique, jump rings, materials, or troubleshooting.

Ideas for a gathering
Thinking of beads, pearls, bracelets, or a charm activity? Tell us what you’d like to make. We’ll discuss suitable projects, materials, group size, and pricing before confirming a workshop.
Ask about hosting an activity →Before we make plans
You can start with questions and curiosity. Tell us whether you’re new to permanent jewelry or already working so we can suggest a suitable session.
Hands-on equipment use is supervised and uses designated practice materials. It must be arranged with us; not every demonstration includes participant welding. We confirm participation requirements before booking.
That depends on the agreed activity. Equipment practice is different from making a finished piece to wear. We’ll confirm materials, what’s included, and any jewelry costs before you book.
At our Redlands office or selected events, by arrangement. Artists can also ask about a one-on-one Zoom session. Location, duration, availability, and price are confirmed individually.
Ask us about a scheduled demonstration or workshop. Share the date, location, and approximate attendance; we’ll discuss the format, space, staffing, participation details, and host arrangements.
You can check availability before paying for the $10 welder tryout or private training and coaching. Choose “Check available dates” for your session and send 2–3 preferred dates or time windows. For Zoom, include your time zone. We’ll agree on a suitable time, then you can pay online and receive your appointment confirmation. If you have already purchased, include your order number so we can arrange your session. For free demonstrations or group activities, use the inquiry form; we’ll confirm timing, materials, and any participation requirements. An inquiry does not reserve a time, and checkout alone does not confirm an appointment.
Let’s talk it through
Share your question and 2–3 preferred dates or time windows; include your time zone for Zoom. You may check availability before paying.
