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.

Review of Small Object Digital Photography for Etsy Sellers, September 10, 2009
After I took this class with Marlo, the photos of my jewelry were instantly better. For anyone that is not happy with their photos, Marlo can definitely help out. The class sizes are very small which is excellent for one on one time. Marlo also helped out with a few tips for the etsy site which was a plus. Thank you for the great class!

Review of Marlo M, April 10, 2009
I took Marlo's photography workshop recently and really enjoyed it. Marlo began by explaining a little of the technical stuff of photography -- just enough to give us a better understanding of what certain camera settings are actually doing. She then photographed several pieces of jewelry, showing us some of her own techniques using various set-ups, lighting, etc. The rest of the time was spent in a hands-on experience, as we used our own cameras to photograph our own jewelry in the various locations around her studio. Marlo worked with each of us to help us get our shots just right.
The workshop was limited to four people, which offered greater individual attention than you would get in a larger class. Marlo is easy going and encouraging and eager to share her knowledge with others. Her prices are also very reasonable.
Thanks, Marlo! I loved it and learned a lot!
