Welcome to the Bench! 🛠️ Let’s build the future of jewelry repair together.

Hello everyone, and welcome to TheMetalSmithWorkshop!

I am thrilled to have you here. Whether you’re holding a torch for the first time or you’re looking to turn a lifelong passion for craft into a profitable career pivot, you’ve found your home.

The Vision

The world of fine jewelry is thriving, but the path to becoming a proficient repair artist can often feel "closed off" or intimidating. My goal is to change that. I want to help you navigate the transition into the jewelry business by mastering everything from basic sizing to advanced restoration.

Why a Community?

Mastery doesn't happen in a vacuum. The vision for this group is to create a living workshop where:

No question is too small: We’ve all melted a solder joint we shouldn't have. This is a safe place to ask "Why did this happen?"
Peer Support: We lean into each other’s expertise. One person might be a master at stone setting, while another excels at laser welding.
Career Growth: We’re here to talk about the business side too—how to price your work, find clients, and make your pivot successful.
