4 Bracelet Retreat on the Lake


with Beginning Silversmithing Option
No prior experience required! 
Already experienced? No problem!
On the first day, we’ll have you start a more advanced project while we help beginners build their foundational skills. 
I’m excited to host this all-inclusive 5-day intensive retreat right in my home studio on beautiful Saunders Lake in North Bend, Oregon. It’s five full days packed with creativity, learning, hands-on making, and plenty of fun! On top of all that it comes with or without tools so when you go home you can start creating right away!

Retreat Schedule Overview

  • Saturday: Kick off with our Beginning Silversmithing session. Learn the essentials of silver soldering and create a stunning contemporary or Southwestern-style pendant or single-band ring. (Experienced participants will dive into a custom project instead.)
  • Sunday: We’ll gather as a group to discuss and prioritize the projects each person is most excited about, then sequence them for the remaining days.

  • Interchangeable Bracelet
    Versatile design for mixing and matching elements.
  • Special/Custom Projects
    Have something specific in mind? Call me to discuss — we can make it happen!

You’ll also learn advanced techniques like using a tripod for large cabochon bezel settings and creating pieces of your own design.What’s Included
