We Nurture Beginners

METAL CLAY, GLASS FUSING, & BEADWORK CLASSES

Join a small group in the West MI studio of artist Cristine Grimm for a fun and informative exploration of metal clay or glass fusing. Certified in both PMC® and Art Clay™, Cristine has over 15 years of both local and national experience teaching students at varying levels of learning. 

Beginners are welcome, and all the tools for class are provided. Basic silver clay classes are always available on-site and in satellite locations, with additional beginner through intermediate classes in silver clay, BRONZclay, COPPRclay, and Glass Fusing, enamel on silver, and more available in the Grand Haven studio. 

Beadwork artist Karie Poole of Goddess Garden Studios is now offering classes in beginning and intermediate beadwork at SilverFire. Watch the calendar and Facebook page for her classes. She brings over 40 years of teaching experience and spent the last 10 years sharing beading techniques to students in West Michigan.
