What our students say...
"I have been taking classes at Diane's studio for the last 8 years and I feel so fortunate to be able to take classes with world-class teachers so close to home! Because of these teachers, I have improved my silversmithing skills and have made jewelry that I most likely would not have tried to make on my own. The prices for these classes are very reasonable and that makes it easy to be able to take several every year. Diane is a wonderful host." Kathleen James
"What sets Diane Weimer’s Studio apart is her commitment to high-level education. She regularly hosts incredible visiting jewelry artists for intensive master classes. Learning directly from these masters has helped me break through creative blocks and refine my bench skills in ways I didn't think possible. It's a premier hub for serious makers. The studio is equipped with every tool imaginable and Diane is organized and committed to creating a safe, open and accessible place to learn. My favorite studio by far." MaryAnn Groark
"I have been going to Diane Weimer’s studio for the past 3 years and so far have taken 11 classes. Diane draws in the best instructors and my skills have greatly increased. The studio is well run, very tidy and safety is emphasized. Diane has almost every jewelry tool and she graciously lets the students use them. I meet wonderful people and friendships develop. I really enjoy going to Diane’s studio and look forward to many more classes." John Niero
