ASK ABOUT A PRIVATE WORKSHOP

You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Answers.

Do I need experience?

Not at all. Our workshops are designed for beginners. We’ll guide you through each step and help you get comfortable with the tools and techniques as you go.

Can I come on my own?

Absolutely! Come on your own, bring a friend or grab a few. With only four students per workshop, it’s a relaxed, friendly environment and everyone gets plenty of hands-on guidance.

What’s included?

All tools and practice materials are provided. You’ll begin by practicing techniques with copper before creating your finished piece. Silver and other premium materials are available at an additional cost.

How many people are in a workshop?

Workshops are limited to just four students. Keeping the groups small gives everyone plenty of workspace and individual attention.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind working in and closed-toe shoes. Long hair should be tied back. We’ll provide any other safety equipment needed for the workshop.

Where are you located?

Workshops are held at the Dana Reed Designs studio at 310 Happ Rd., Suite 214, Northfield, IL 60093.
