Why Private Lessons?
Private beginning jewelry lessons help you learn and retain more information because you are the only student - the lesson plan revolves around your skill level, you get to ask questions and receive answers right away, you have complete attention from the instructor at all times and the freedom to work quietly when necessary.

Have a friend who wants to learn along with you?
Semi-private lessons are also offered at a reduced rate for both students. The lesson plan will be tailored to each student's skill level.

With over 20 years of jewelry and metalsmithing experience to share, my main goal for your class is to teach you the techniques that will help you build a solid foundation that will enable you to conquer more advanced techniques in the future!

While I encourage students to bring their favorite tools and supplies with them, everything you need to learn the basics of metalsmithing will be provided for your use during class. Enough raw material to complete your basic projects are included and additional materials will be available for purchase.

Day, Evening and Weekend class times available and flexible to your schedule!

  • "Wire Wrapping is Fun"

    Review of Private and Semi-Private Beginning Jewelry Classes, May 08, 2008

    I took a wire wrapping class with Marlo, and it was both informative and fun. She's great at teaching stuff will still promoting an open and friendly atmosphere between classmates. I would love to be able to take more classes from Marlo, she's very knowlegable! She was able to any and all issues students were having throughout the class.

About me via MarloM.com:
Marlo Miyashiro enrolled in her first jewelry class in 1987 while pursuing a theatre major and acting career in Los Angeles, CA. A few years (and many auditions) later, her desire to learn more about metalworking and jewelry fabrication put her acting career on hold while she joined UCLA's intensive extension jewelry program in 1989. The entrepreneurial spirit ultimately inspired the creation of Marlo M. Jewelry Design in the summer of 1993. 1997 marked a turning point when Marlo M. moved to her new home in Seattle, Washington. The creative climate of the Pacific Northwest inspired a fresh attitude and innovative designs that allowed Marlo M. Jewelry Design to prosper in its new environment.

Marlo M. creates her unique designs in sterling silver using a wide variety of hand tools. Her skilled use of the jewelers’ saw enables her to carve out intricate designs with remarkable accuracy. She then finishes each piece by hand, polishing the metal to a brilliant, mirror-like shine or burnishing the surface with a lustrous matte texture. Marlo M’s devotion to the fabrication process creates objects that are beautiful, functional and durable, lasting for generations.

“My designs truly reflect my personal mission to create fine handcrafted jewelry, accessories and giftware that inspires a positive point of view and celebrates the enduring spirit of friends, family and the joy of life.” - Marlo M.

About me today:
My "day job" is still designing and making my own line of sterling silver jewelry - http://MarloM.com

I also teach private jewelry classes, coach emerging artists to help them make a living by making what they love and in my "spare time" I organize EtsyRAIN - a group of over 550 Seattle based artists and craft makers that operate independent shops on Etsy.com.
