    Love loved loved this class! Gelli was incredible to work with. She was insightful, patient, and very open to what each individual person was interested in learning. I would absolutely take another class with her. Would love to see more focused technique jewelry classes available here and there. Thanks a bunch!

    Geli is incredible and I learned so so much from this class. I would love to take more classes with her in the future, her experience with slabs and templates really appeal to me and she's a really hands on, caring teacher. Really happy with my experience.

    This class was more than I could’ve hoped for. We learned all about making jewelry out of clay using many different approaches and techniques. Jewelry itself is a celebration and so was this class.
