Maybe a group class is not the right answer for you. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the curriculum customized to fit your skills and your knowledge thus far?

This is an opportunity to work at your pace on your schedule with the focus on you!

With 8 cameras that follow me around the studio, I can pretty much show you anything that is in my wheelhouse of expertise. We can also talk about studio setup/design, organization, go over your website, your social media and more.

Work along with me or have me demo and you can work later. It’s up to you!

I can actually cover a lot more content 1 on 1. So it’s a fast paced learning opportunity at a great price.

**Reach out to me first to set a date before paying**  

What is involved:

• You will need high speed internet and access to Zoom.
• It would be helpful if your camera not only showed you but then also when needed showed your work. Having a holder that clamps to your bench is very helpful and I can make suggestions for that as well.
• Time is booked in 3 hour increments and I’ll send you an intake form to get to know you and what you want to cover. If you prefer we can have a 10-15 min FaceTime or Zoom chat.
• We can record sessions as well.
• I live in the Mountain time zone

How it works:

1. Contact me to book a date and time (online scheduler coming soon)
2. Pay for a block of 3 hours of time.
3. Fill out the intake form or request to book a 5-10 minute intake session.
4. Time must be used within 1 year
   ***I spend a lot of time making samples so there is no wasted time in class.  This pre-work takes me longer which is why the price is higher for 3 hours.  So we can tackle a full day of a normal class in the 3 hour time period.

Tonya is the most knowledgeable, passionate and generous instructor I have ever met. Her shop it so professional yet cozy. Any tool you’ll need for a task, she’s got it! She answered every single question I had. Gave me suggestions about benches and tools and on how to spend my money smartly. She gave me her truthful reviews on equipment.She explained in detail how different torches work. Specially the Swiss torch, which I the one I had questions about. She gave me great advice about my business. And she was willing to connect me with experts to help me succeed as an entrepreneur.

I had the opportunity to take lessons with Tonya and it was nothing short of an amazing experience. She listened to what I wanted to work on, and then added more tools, techniques and information to make it all come together. Her experience fabricating along with her knowledge, make her an excellent teacher. Tonya does a wonderful job explaining things and observes and offers advice. One of my favorite things she taught me was to be se the torch in my left hand. As unnatural as it felt initially, it has really made a-lot of things easier. I can’t thank her enough for being a wonderful resource and giving me the chance to take lessons from her.

I have taken lots of art and craft classes in my time.  Many, many of these classes have been with Tonya Davidson over the last 30 years and I can attest to the fact that she is, by far, the best instructor I have ever learned from.  Not only does she know her art inside out and upside down, but her dedication to her students is incomparable.  She has the patience of a saint and knows or finds a solution to every problem this bumble handed student has ever thrown at her.

Her teaching and demonstrations always include the best tips, tricks, and tools to assure that her students can have the best outcome possible.  She spends endless trying out new techniques, finding just the right tool or supply, and making sure her instructions and handouts have all the information her students need in order to replicate their project at home and on their own.

Tonya is readily available for follow up, questions, queries, and advice.  She has never let me down when I was stuck on something.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tonya Davidson for any sort of teaching, coaching, or assistance in any jewelry related setting.

Respectfully and happily submitted
