ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR, KELLY:
I’ve always loved making and creating things, and once I found metalsmithing in college, I was hooked. For me it is the perfect combination of creativity and science. I graduated with a BFA in metalsmithing from KU in 2003 and spent 2 years apprenticing as a bench jeweler at Kizer Cummings Jewelry. The combination of school learning and hands-on training in a jewelry store has given me a solid base of skills and knowledge from which I have built my own career in metalsmithing, as MeritMade. I look super forward to having you in class and sharing my love of metalsmithing with you.
