    This was such a fun class! My girlfriends and I decided to take this class as something different to do together. Jakki is a great teacher and was so patient teaching those of us who had no idea what we were doing. She is a very talented artist and her gallery is beautiful. I would definitely take another class here. Thanks Jak!

    Jakki is a talented artist and teacher. She gives clear instructions and is patient with novices and will help you complete your pieces, even if you are all thumbs. She is flexible and willing to let you make your vision into a concrete piece. I highly recommend her classes.

    This was a wonderful class! The instructor demonstrated simple jewelry techniques and provided all the material needed to make some really beautiful pieces of jewelry. I'm looking forward to participating in other classes :)
