What my students have said:

Karen

In true Deryn Mentock fashion, these videos and instruction are primo!!! I encourage anyone who is on the fence to LEAP! You will not regret it!

Marianne

Deryn, thank you so much for this class. I've had so much fun/anxiety/giggles/stress/excitement during this class, and my confidence level has absolutely skyrocketed. You're just the best! See you in the next class!

Diane

I am really proud of myself that I was finally able to overcome the soldering hump. I have tried to solder for years without success and along comes Deryn Mentock, and voila! I finally got it. Deryn, I never use the word "awesome" because I think it is the most overused word in the universe but, you are awesome!

Originally from Oregon, with a long stop in Texas, I now live in the wild west of Wyoming where my husband was born and raised. Wyoming has always been home to me and we're lucky to have an amazing, old farmhouse built in 1900, that sits at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. We are host to deer, pheasant, wild turkeys, bald eagles, great horned owls, moose, osprey and even a bear in our yard. This is the setting for Owl Creek Studio, and the inspiration for much of my work.

Through years of practice in metalsmithing and jewelry making techniques I've developed a unique style of my own. I traveled the country, for years, to feed my love of teaching and discovered a true passion for sharing my knowledge of technique and design. I was one of the first instructors to offer online jewelry making classes and am proud to offer excellent and inspiring creative content, online and in person.
