Enjoy Hands On Classes With Jim
Welcome to Jim Dailing’s custom jewelry workshop, where we provide an unmatched level of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm in our hands-on classes. With over 30 years of experience crafting unique and personalized jewelry pieces, Jim has traveled extensively across the country to share his passion for creating custom rings and necklaces.
Our classes are kept small to ensure that each student receives personalized attention, and we offer both live and online workshops to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Whether you are interested in learning the art of gold alloy, wax carving for bezel-set gemstones, stone setting without prongs, or other techniques, our workshops are designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to create beautiful and one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.
In addition to our scheduled workshops, we also offer group instruction for schools and other organizations. If you are interested in scheduling a custom workshop or have any questions about our classes, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be more than happy to discuss your needs and help you find the perfect workshop to suit your goals.
