Jewelry Classes

Have you ever wanted to design and make your own necklace? Or your girlfriend's engagement ring?  Or maybe you saw something in the store and want to make something similiar with your personality on it ? Or maybe you just want to improve your metalsmithing skills?

If so, then come on over to Rene's jewelery/metalsmithing classes.  Students will learn how to make earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets and anything else you want out of silver, gold (or other metals) and precious stones. 

All skill levels are invited to class.

You are welcome to come as little as once a month or as much as twice a week --- whatever your schedule dictates.  Classes are offered Mondays & Thursdays 6pm -- 9pm (other times and days by appointment) at the Galleon's Gold Workshop on 12th St. in Ogden, Utah. 

Also ~ ~ ~ 

We are also able to give demonstrations and one day classes to schools, "girl's night out," church groups, scouts, etc. We are happy to travel to Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Morgan, Cache, Carbon and Box Elder counties in Utah. If you would like us to do something in another place, please let us know and we can see what the options are.  We will bring all supplies needed. ~ ~ ~

New photos

We have some new photos of these frogs, toads and gecko brooches. (They also have a hook on them so they can be used as necklace pendants.)




They are replicas of Pre-Colombian artifacts housed in the Gold Museum of Colombia. These though, are 18k gold plated brass. They will be for sale in our Etsy store soon.

Another New Treasury

We created another fun Etsy treasury.   But first, I should explain the treasuries---an Etsy treasury is an ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery.  I put together the collection.  The gecko brooch is ours, while the rest is from other artisians. 

(The fun praying mantis was created by our friend, Kit. Click here to see her blog and here to see her Etsy store.)


Ok- so now that it is explained and I put in a plug for Kit---------------

We want to announce that we just created a fun new Etsy treasury:

Cute & Cuddly Creepy Crawlies.

Enjoy! Because I know you love to hate and hate to love these creatures!!
