Collections and Pricing: Business Development Workshop for Jewelers: February 9, 3:30-5:30
Something that is missing in Boulder County is a supportive space where working independent jewelers can gain information and share ideas on the business side of jewelry making, and we are here to fill that gap!
Jen created this business development series, to provide manageable amounts of information and an active workshop component so that you walk away feeling empowered to work "on" your business vs. "in" your business!
In this second session you will learn:
- How to get clear on your style that separates you from others
- What a proper collection entails
- How often to create a collection
- How price your jewelry for profit
The last day to cancel your registration for a refund or transfer ($25 transfer fee applies) is January 26, 2025.
By registering for a class at Silver Peak Studio, you agree to our cancellation policy, dress code for class, and studio rules.
About the instructor, Jen Lesea-Ames:
A former exercise physiologist and triathlete, Jen retired from her fitness career after receiving a diagnosis of hip dysplasia and decided to go full-time with her jewelry business in 2014.
Wanting more of a challenge after stringing beads for three years, she studied metalsmithing at the Denver School of Metal Arts (now called Denver Jewelry Studio) from 2012-2016. She decided to go full-time with her jewelry business in 2014 and opened Silver Peak Studio in July 2020.
She is the owner, designer, and metalsmith of Jen Lesea Designs, (2009-present); her jewelry is sold in over 50 stores, including Fallingwater Museum Store, the Denver Art Museum Gift Shop, and the national catalog Uncommon Goods. Her experience and work has landed her local and national press. Jen is an Applied Jewelry Professional from the Gemological Institute of America GIA.
Jen has sold over $1.5 million in her jewelry line, and knows first-hand, what it takes to be a successful working independent artist.
Her fun and friendly nature is apparent in everything she does, whether its teaching metalsmithing, talking to art show patrons, or supporting her fellow jewelry artists in growing their business.
A few of Jen's favorite things is recreating outdoors, traveling, and hanging with her fur babies (kitties), Addie and Stevie.
