In this workshop, I'll show you my secrets to creating the most precious snowman you've ever seen. There are many variations for this little guy and lots of ways to embellish him. Once you've created your snowman, you can hang him right on your tree, or, I'll show you how to incorporate him into a snowy diorama ornament. One of my favorite options for these little guys is incorporating them into necklaces. I'll be discussing some design options for necklaces as well as demonstrating a couple of techniques. While this is not a jewelry making class, per se, I'll teach you how to make a wire wrapped bead link...and a beautiful toggle clasp...that you'll use over and over again.  Included in this class is instruction on how to make my petite toggle clasp. This clasp is completely handmade and is a terrific addition to your jewelry making skill set.

Glass bottle snowmen

 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.
