To my students

Welcome! If you are at this site because you are signed up for a class with me, or you are considering it-- this is where I will post information that may be of use to you. You can also see some of my work in previous posts, below.



I will be ordering some of the tools my classes will need so that I can make them available to students at lower cost than you would pay ordering them individually, and conveniently bring them to you at class. For those trying my bent-and-hammered bracelet class ("Sinuous Silver Bracelet and Earrings" or "Flowing Silver-Wire Bracelet "), you can order the hammer and/or steel block through me, if you wish. This hammer (see picture) is my very favorite hammer. It has a good weight, the heads are well-polished, and it has no corners to ding up your metal. The price for these hammers is $30 plus local sales tax, and the steel block, 2 1/2" square, is $10.

You will need to order the tools ahead of time if you wish to be sure to get in on the group order. Contact me at noelyovovich-aj@yahoo.com.

As for other classes, I will have extra materials such as sterling wire or titanium sheet available according to the subject of the class.

Those taking the knit wire bangle class: You may want to put some pearls or beads inside your bangle! If you think you might, bring them along to class-- any size up to about 8mm, any color, any type you think might be good.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at any time!
