"Make Something I Love" An Online Jewelry Community to Develop your "Inner Game" of Jewelry Design |
Connect, Support, Inspire, and Challenge
An online community to help you move "beyond technique" and feel more connected to what you are making.
Would you like to find an online community which is different from a typical Facebook group?
Many online groups are a combination of "show and tell" and "tell me what to do". Many members are often simply looking for shortcuts, unaware that the process of discovery is usually more important than the answer itself.
Without focus and with so much distraction pulling us in different directions, these groups may actually lead us away from where the true learning we seek really lies: within ourselves.
"Make Something I Love" is designed to help you make a change in how you
"think about and make" your art jewelry.
It's not entertainment.
It's not a distraction.
It's actually intended to get you away from your computer or device and help you BEGIN designing, creating, and expressing yourself in new and different ways.
It's like a Creativity University where you can develop the inner skills which will free you
to develop personal and meaningful artwork.

What do my students tell me they want and need?
|
I always ask my students in the beginning of a class to share what their goals for the class are. Quite often they tell me that they just want to be able to "make something I love". They may not know what that would look like. They may feel frustrated that they can see jewelry that other artists have made which they love and admire yet cannot figure out how to take their skills, materials, and ideas and create something of their own which they like just as much. They return home from an inspiring workshop (usually focused on a technique) and when they enter their studio they either make artwork which is derivative of the teacher's art or they feel like they are "missing something" and can't do it on their own. Left to their own devices without a teacher, they struggle. Read more...
