What my students have said:

Denise

I’ve taken a lot of classes and things just didn’t come together. When you find a teacher that makes it click for you, like Deryn did for me, It all comes together! I watched her over and over. I feel like a metalsmith now and nothing intimidates me. I use her process for everything!

Jan

You've opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. I just love what I'm learning! You seem to answer every question, even before I asked. Thanks so much, Deryn, the videos are great! I have to say these are the best classes I've taken online, and I've taken a lot of them! 

Cathy

If anyone has a doubt sign up for one class and you will wish you could do them all...wonderful explanations and guidance. Something Sublime is wonderful... 
 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.
