About P Casey
I teach one-on-one even in group classes! I have had enough students that I am aware that they do NOT know what I know and I can fit the teaching to individual needs. It isn't hard for me to remember my days of fumbling while I learned from my VERY talented and experienced husband, videos and other jewelry artists.
I can teach from beginner up to someone who has some skills and wants to learn more about wire working, cabochons, using jewelry tools of various types, stringing (with design included), making your own findings and more.
I am known for my patience and caring. And I still have so much excitement about the subject! I love to find the special artist inside each student!
My classes include materials, tools and supplies.
I am bi-lingual in Spanish and I can also teach quite a bit about other crafts, especially making fairy garden miniatures.
I left high school with the intention of being a teacher. I've always loved to share knowledge.
While living in Spain I taught ESL for my Spanish friends and SSL classes for the families of GIs stationed in Spain. I loved it.
As a beginner, I belonged to a local group that shared skills with each other as we learned. It has grown from there. I do not teach full-time. I have too much fun doing the actual creating and learning new skills for my own use.
Because I am always learning new skills I never lose the perspective of "beginner".
Since 1992 I have been studying and practicing these skills. Everyone is a beginner at some point.
My husband was an advanced jewelry maker but I chose a different path than stone cutting and silversmithing. I don't solder, cut metal shapes etc. I prefer stringing, wire shaping and forming and things that don't require fire or a shop.
I can't count the number of videos I've watched over and over again until I perfected a specific skill. And I experiment. I've trashed a LOT of wire.

First, we have to get to know each other a bit. I need to know what the student(s) know(s) already and what they want to learn. Then and only then can I determine where to start.
I will usually begin with terminology because if you don't speak the "language" you can't understand instruction. What is a headpin, an eyepin, etc. Then we learn the names of the basic tools and their uses. I show how one can substitute household items for a few tools in some uses.
I answer questions then we get to work.
I've worked with children as young as 7 years (teaching how to make dreamcatchers), seniors (computer skills) and every age in between.
I've worked with people who easily grasp new physical and mental skills and with those for whom it is more difficult.
I firmly believe that everyone has a talent. If the passion is there they will find it and use it. My job is to assist in finding that passion and talent.

Details
I prefer classes of 3 to five people. Pricing will depend on the materials used and the number of people in the class.
I've found we need two hours to allow students to grasp the skills and actually make something they can take home and show with pride.
If I have to drive to your location there is a $5 base fee with a 50c per mile addition over 5 miles.
In general, an earring class will cost the base price of $15 per student (minimum 3) Plus $5 each for materials. Add $3 for a bracelet class and $5 for a necklace class.
Private classes for a single individual will be $35 for the first 2 hours and $15 an hour thereafter. Supplies costs are the same. Please note: I've been known to barter.
Wire weaving (whether dreamcatcher earrings/pendants) or two, three and four wire weaves and with base metal wire) is the same.
Cabochon wrapping is the same pricing for the class but the supplies price will depend on the cabochon chosen and the wire. I prefer to start all students with brass, copper or nickel wire and low-cost cabochons.
Please note: due to irresponsible students I am forced to charge a non-refundable deposit of 50% at the time of the appointment. If, for any reason, I am not able to be there (car breakdown etc) the deposit becomes refundable.
