Lorrene loves to teach these two art mediums. 
Her favorite quote is to just "...addict new students -
and that she is a clay pusher."


 Here are some of her student evaluation remarks -
Metal Clay: Introductory, Intermediate & Certification
 

"...This is an amazing workshop (Intro to Metal Clay) and has opened my mind and my skills to take my jewelry to the next level..." 
B. Steffen, Cameron Park, CA

"...The demos were very excellent.  Accepting students of a variety of background & culture ..
.it was beyond what I expected.." 
Esther Liu - Limin, Beijing, China

Just a quick note to let you know I think your stone setting book is one
of the best resources I've purchased for my metal clay work.  I've
always liked working with metal clay, but didn't like that most of my
pieces looked "crafty" instead of professional.  You've brought me a
long way towards my goal of professional looking pieces!  Thanks for taking the time to write it!
Best regards,

P. Alander, Granby, CO.
