Private Jewellery & Metalsmithing Lessons

$200 per day | 8-hour day

Let’s tackle the projects you're stuck on, build your skills, and make your creative ideas happen. Whether you're struggling with soldering, looking for bezel alternatives, refining your sawing and polishing techniques, or curious about sand casting—we’ll work through it together.

We can explore new techniques, experiment with ideas, and adapt tools and setups to meet your specific needs. I especially welcome conversations around disability-informed studio adaptations, accessible tools, and safe, inclusive workspaces.

Maybe you’ve got a torch still in the box and don’t know where to start? I’ll walk you through setting it up safely and confidently. Need help shopping for materials or choosing the right tools? We can go together in person or hop on a Zoom or WhatsApp call to sort it out.

What’s included:
The $200/day rate assumes you have your own supplies, tools, metal, and safety gear. Not fully set up yet? No problem—I can bring most tools and materials (excluding large equipment like rolling mills). In some cases, tools can be loaned. Just email me at info@saramontgomerydesigns.ca and let’s figure out what works best for you.

Everyone is welcome.
ESL? ASL? Disabilities? LGBTQ+? Newcomer to metalsmithing or Canada? You are absolutely welcome here. If you have specific needs or questions, I’m happy to chat and accommodate however I can.
