Best Jewelry School!

by SarahRichey123 at Citysearch

This school was such an amazing experience! I learned so much about the art of jewelry and the business. It helped me feel more confident as a jeweler. The teachers are amazing! They are both machines! Extremely talented and will help you with anything you need help with. Kristin is so amazing and very wise. Not only do we learn how to make jewelry, but we do exercises in class sometimes to help us learn how to dig even deeper to our inner creative hearts. I've been here for 2 months already and I want to stay longer! This school has really been an amazing journey and i finally feel like i can have my own jewelry line!! Also, the atmosphere in the room is very zen and peaceful.So if you even thinking about taking her class...do it! Its sooo worth the money and time!

I changed my life to be a student here!

by mgambro at Citysearch

I had been working in the school for over a year as a part time student while working at a job I didn't like. After realizing that I want to be a jewelry designer, I quit my job and became a full time 2 year student in Kristin's studio.

Being here full time has helped me grow as an artist and a jeweler so much in the past couple months.

The school is not packed and with all the one on one instruction with talented teachers I have no complaints about the structure of the school.

Kristin is giving me the confidence to believe in myself as an artist and designer and her passion for her company inspires us all.

• Pros: I am learning a lot
• Cons: none

Taking design to the next level

by NYCjax7 at Citysearch

I have been a student of Kristin's from day one. She had four benches in a tiny room and it's been incredible to see the school flourish into what it is today. Three years later and I am still learning something every time I am in the studio.

Kristin is an extremely tough teacher, but appreciate her honesty. She helps you take your work to the next level and think outside the box. That matched with the skill level of her two amazing teachers helps you create beautiful jewelry while learning fabrication techniques simultaneously.

It saddens me to see some of the negative reviews. My only thought is that Kristin's school exploded in popularity quickly. I know she went through a transition phase. Now she has another full-time teacher besides herself, a part-time teacher and a school director. I've seen her make drastic changes as the school blooms and I couldn't be more proud of my favorite teacher!

• Pros: Creative, Thought-provoking education
• Cons: None!
