Testimonials from our wonderful students, clients and friends:

"Wow! I just had an amazing day doing nothing but creating, building, learning and making friends. I teach full time myself so I'm especially interested in not only the learning that takes place but teaching styles that can make or break a class. Sally's certainly made the class! I was able to go home and create another beautiful bracelet with eagerness and ease to boot. I can't wait for my next endeavor with you where my creative juices and own innovative inspirations (buried very deeply somewhere within) are encouraged to flow...

You get an A++ on your report card, Sally!"

"As Bette Midler once said, " People are not the best because they work hard. They work hard because they are the best. " And Sally,YOU are the best ! I thank you for the exceptional manner in which you teach your classes, the materials you provide, your never ending patience and the wonderful lampwork beads created by your daughter Shannon. Without your dedication and expertise, I would not be nearly as knowledgable about wire and metal work as I am. You have been a true inspiration ! I learn something new everytime I take a class with you. Your engaging personality has made my journey into jewelry making a fascinating experience."

"Sally's and Shannon's works are incredible. They are always designing new, wonderful items. Sally's classes are wonderful. She's a great teacher, speaks so that we can understand what we are doing, has unending patience, AND everyone leaves with beautiful jewelry and more knowledge and skills than we could have imagined."

"Kudos to the creative and inspirational art generated by Sally and Shannon. Because of your awesome art, a new world of expression has been opened up in myself. A wonderful direction has been revealed to me through your expertise and thoughtful teaching. I want to thank you from the bottom of my pea-pickn'-heart!"

"You can always tell a Sally & Shannon piece of jewelry. They are very creative and one of a kind pieces. I always get complements on my bangle bracelet which I made in one of Sally's classes. If you have the opportunity, you need to take a class from Sally because she gives you detailed instructions and is very hands helping each student one by one. Plus along the way she gives you ideas on how to make your piece a special one. I've taken a number of classes with Sally and looking forward to taking ones in the future. I also want to mention that the Lampwork beads that Shannon creates are just beautiful and complement the piece you are working on. I sometimes buy a bead from her without knowing what to do with it...because it is so stunning. Thank you for your classes, beads and friendship!"
