    This course opened my eyes to the world of jewelry making and make me want to set up a bench at home. Particularly valuable were the list of connections in the Diamond District. These new connections will reduce my material costs by half. Highly recommend this course for those who want to take their jewelry to the next level.

    These have been the best summer Saturdays I have spent in a very long time. Carolina is instantly lovable, with so much knowledge that she freely, enthusiastically gives to us. Not just about making jewelry, but the art of alchemy and the history and chemistry that threads its way through the craft. I love this class so much, and I plan to continue my relationship with her if I’m able.

    Carolina is a fantastic instructor. No matter what direction you want to take jewelry making, hobbyist-professional, Carolina will be able to help you along your journey. It is important to know what you get out of this is what you put in. Metalsmithing is thousands of years of knowledge and won’t be compressed into a short amount of time. The first set of classes you will begin to work on basic fundamentals while working on your first pieces. This will require you to interact with businesses up on 47th street, while at times this can be frustrating, the finished jewelry will be worth the time put in. Carolina is very passionate about the art form, and you will learn a tremendous amount in the class. She is very easy to reach if you have questions.

    I am really enjoying the Metalsmithing class. Carolina is not only a very talented jeweler and metalsmither; she is a wonderful teacher and person.! We have many hours to learn and she finds time for each of us. There are usually only 3 other people in the studio at the same time. I am learning the basics of metalsmithing and Carolina is immensely supportive and I made a ring already after only 3 classes. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn metalsmithing, be creative and have some relaxing craft time with a wonderful educator.

    The Art of Metalsmithing Jewelry Design with Carolina was an amazing experience! It was the perfect introductory class for someone who has never worked in metalsmithing before, and I felt comfortable learning and growing throughout the 5 week curriculum. Carolina offers a wide variety of expertise and also makes class fun! She gives total creative freedom to her students and ensures that their pieces turn out the way they envisioned. I would absolutely recommend this class for anyone looking to explore a new art medium or solidify skills they already possess in the art of jewelry making. This class is great for people of all levels! I walked away with three beautiful new pieces that I can't wait to show off!

    This was a really fun class to take: Carolina is a warm and inviting instructor, and she was amazing at circulating through the shop to attend to everyone as they moved through their personal/class projects. Carolina was flexible and open to student ideas about what they wanted to make, even as she made a point of teaching the basics. In this class, I had the opportunity to learn to cut metal, attach metal to metal, polish, grind, wax-carve and cast (though this process is outsourced). I made a cut metal pendant, a cast ring, and a pair of earrings. I did not have enough time to learn to set a stone, though I could have if I finished my other projects more quickly. I disliked that I was left with a LOT of leftover materials. They are very expensive and I didn't use most of the materials (metals and saw blades) that I was asked to purchase for the class. I also wish that I had finished the class with a stronger understanding soldering (I didn't get to try it, just got to watch Carolina do it). I loved that it was such a small class, and that we shared the workshop space with her other, more advanced students. She played great music (Prince, R+B, soul) each week, and made it a convivial space. Carolina was also very accommodating of students needing to reschedule missed classes. In short, I'd recommend this class for someone who is interested in trying their hand at introductory jewelry making, especially if you don't want to invest in your own tools.
