This shop is so special. The staff is super helpful with any jewelry making questions. They are very supportive of the local kids, allowing them to come on field trips to learn jewelry making at an affordable price. Their classes are great and I have learned so much.

A great experience making some homemade bracelets for the kiddos, including options for more masculine jewelry.
It’s fun! You might get a tad overheated since the air doesn’t move well in the shop, so a cold bottle of water is a good item to bring with you.

Came in here and the owner helped us make some bracelets. It was really cool that she helped us through the whole process. 10/10 experience
