Our mission & values
We know you have a choice when it comes to jewelry classes in the Denver Metro area.
Our mission is to support the jewelry arts, in all its forms, through education and selling our students' and instructors' jewelry.
Our promise is to give you a fulfilling experience of learning and joy.
We believe in:
Safety First
Metalsmithing can be dangerous, especially when care is not taken with particles, chemicals, and fumes. We have state-of-the-art ventilation for ALL torch classes (whether its butane, propane, or acetylene), we provide aprons to protect your clothing, safety glasses to protect your eyes, gloves to protect your hands, and KN95 masks to protect your lungs from harmful dust caused by polishing compounds and sanding.
Professionalism
Let's face it: no one likes to hear a teacher lose her cool, and no one likes to hear or be the subject of gossip. We're committed to creating and maintaining a supportive, positive, and professional environment.
Welcoming Everyone
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status.
Reducing our carbon footprint
Because it's the right thing to do. All the metals we use are refined or recycled, we use non-toxic chemicals (i.e. pickle and flux), and we recycle everything that is possible to recycle.
Giving back
We are committed to giving back to our local community. In light of the Marshall Fire on 12/30/21, our charity of choice is CERF+, which is an organization committed to studio safety and disaster preparation for artists. They also give grants for studio safety as well as for those artists who are victims of natural disasters.
Doing the right thing
All we have is our reputation, so that said, we clearly state our policies so you know what to expect from us, and we'll go up and beyond to provide an exceptional experience.
