Emma was the absolute best! She made a very special night for a friend and I and turned what could have been ruined plans into a special experience as another place id booked messed up some things. Happens but I'm glad it did as Emma was just amazing. Great instructor, kind but direct in feedback. She made sure you walked away with a quality piece and experience

We had such a wonderful time casting our wedding rings with Emma and they turned out beautifully! It was such a unique and interesting experience. Emma's communication before and during the workshop was great and she helped us make our (fairly complex!) designs a reality.

By far one of the coolest experiences I have ever done. Emma was amazing in helping me create my platinum wedding band. She was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She also had some delicious protein bars and peanuts on standby just in case :)

Having been an enthusiastic beginner jewelry artist for several years I was losing my mojo until I discovered Mountain Metalsmith. I can't thank Emma enough for her instruction and guidance. Her class refreshed my knowledge base, taught me better techniques than I had learned in the past and certainly taught me new skills. I'm looking forward to another class. Individual instruction, small classes, a superb location and work space, the opportunity to rent time using her equipment once you complete a course - it can't be beat. Before you consider other area classes I highly recommend checking out classes at Mountain Metalworks.

This was a once in a lifetime experience with my partner making our wedding bands! Very special. We couldn't recommend Emma and Mountain Metalworks more highly!

Could not recommend this experience enough! When my fiancé and I discovered we could make our own rings, we could not even imagine what a special process this would be. We wanted something classic but with a personal touch. Emma walked us through each step and helped us design and fabricate our rings. She convinced us to *melt* our fingerprints inside each other rings. Emma helped us not only create a beautiful symbol of our relationship, but gave us an experience we will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you so much!

Emma didn’t excellent job resizing a family heirloom ring I was nervous about taking some thing like this to get resized but Emma assured me that they would be able to keep the original patina and even match it on the resized section the end result looked fantastic and I would not hesitate to bring something like this back and will be returning for all of my jewelry needs

Have you ever taken jewelry from a museum and wore it? Tempting but no. Well, I did one better. I asked Emma Macchiarini to take a stone I took from a beach in Puerto Rico after reporting on the devastation of Hurricane Maria and make it into a necklace. She crafted one of power and artistry. She asked honest questions, gave me detailed rough drafts and then mailed it. When I opened the letter, it was as the light from a sunrise warmed my face. I wear her artwork on my neck with pride. People ask me who made it. "A genius," I say. "A genius."

Emma was outstanding. My fiance and I took a class that allowed us to create our own wedding rings from scratch. Emma worked with us on design, materials, and advice. She showed us every step but made sure we were confident enough to do it ourselves. She was patient and helpful and made triply sure we were satisfied by the end. Now I have to fight my fiance every day because she keeps wanting to wear the rings before the wedding, all because of how good they came out. Emma does an incredible job and I can't possible recommend her and Mountain Metalworks more!!!

Emma assisted me with designing a ring and was the most accommodating! I really had no clue what I was doing but I was greeted with nothing but patience as I asked a million questions. Emma even engraved my ring last minute and did a stellar job. If your looking for something uniquely handmade, go here!

I highly recommend jewelry making classes with Emma at her workshop studio: Mountain Metalworks.I spent a week learning how to make silver jewelry, her studio is very well-equipped and she is a very talented and professional jewelry artisan (designer and creator). She has many years of experience and is very enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge. The classes were fun and engaging, we worked on different things every day so I learnt a variety of skills.Emma genuinely wanted me to have the best experience possible and is very patient as she explains everything fully and keeps you safe at all times. I feel like I have come away with a lot of knowledge and new-found skills, and a new appreciation for the skills required to make jewelry!I was able to design my own pieces and Emma encouraged me to make them entirely myself, with her guidance. I left with some fantastic and unique jewelry pieces that I will wear and cherish.It’s a a fun way to spend a day, a couple of days ..or a week! There are several Jewelry benches so you can take classes together with friends.Thank you Emma for making my week with you so special … I will be back for sure!!

My fiance and I just went through a two-day ring making workshop with Emma (the owner) and it was so much fun! My fiance made my wedding band, and I made her a silver ring. We were able to work on every step of the process, and Emma was there to help us whenever we ran into trouble. We learned a ton, and couldn't be happier with the results!!Emma is kind, funny and incredible professional. I can't recommend working with her enough, she's fantastic!
