    Review of Beginning Jewelry Making: Total Immersion, October 14, 2008

    I can't imagine taking a more helpful or fun jewelry making class! My 17 year old daughter and I took the class from Dana this summer and had a FANTASTIC time! Dana has the rare ability to teach the proper way of handling and using equipment (and explaining the reasoning behind the rules), while keeping things fun and exciting. She also handles the inevitable mistakes with grace and patience. I would recommend this class to anyone-from total beginners to people with moderate jewelry making experience. Now I plan on doing the mentored independent study. I only wish there were more than 5 stars to give!

    Review of Small-Scale Gravity Casting, September 20, 2008

    Juan is a talented jeweler and a great teacher. His gentle supportive style will charm you and I educate you at the same time. A very knowledgeable teacher and one of the nicest.

    Review of Mentored Independent Study, September 20, 2008

    Dana is a natural born teacher and a fine jeweler. She breaks down the most complex issue into easily understood pieces. Her studio is very well equipped. Gives you a chance to try different pieces of equipment before buying or to get started without a lot of up front expense.

    Review of Wax Working for Jewelers, August 11, 2008

    I took this class last month and was very happy with the results. It offered tons of information and insight into the world of lost wax casting.
    Jena Hounshell is not only a talented metalsmith with a formal degree under her belt, but a great teacher with real life experience. She worked at a local casting shop for years and has seen many challenging projects during her time there. She covered a wide variety of techniques and tools for working in wax and went over in detail the actual casting process.
    This is one of the many classes I have taken at Danaca Desing and as always we had a great learning atmosphere, small class size and all the tools to work with.
