ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi there, I’m Briana – the hands behind the torch and your guide in the studio.
I graduated from jewelry design school in 2014 and have been teaching workshops since 2018. What started as a love for metalsmithing quickly turned into a passion for sharing it – because there’s nothing quite like watching someone create their very first piece by hand! I’m endlessly drawn to the tactile, intimate process of working with metal: the hammering, shaping, and that very satisfying sizzle when hot metal hits water… and that first successful solder? Pure magic, every time.
My classes are relaxed, supportive, and full of encouragement (with a few laughs and cheesy flux jokes along the way). I believe jewelry should feel personal – something you’re proud to wear because you made it. I’m so honoured to share this craft with the Prince George and northern community. I can’t wait to create with you!
