Contact us to sign up for a class!

Firelight Designs is about teaching and mentoring others. Our students include hobbyists, jewelry artists, artisans wanting to add wire and metal working to their toolbox of art skills. Fun and educational, our classes teach students not just about jewelry making but also designing, ways to
create, color, and more.

Classes at Firelight Designs Studio

Firelight Designs holds classes at its studio on Guemes Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington state. Learn jewelry techniques from wire wrapping to cold connections, soldering, patinas, wire weaving and wire wrapping, and new class ideas Darlene develops each year. In additon to classes, you can have a jewelry party at the studio. Bring your friends, some snacks and learn a new jewelry technique. Or, have a jewelry birthday party at the studio for children or adults. Creativity is always happening at the Studio!

Student's work from recent class

Message received from a student: "One project I've worked on during our quarantine is a challenge to use a piece of sea glass in a piece of jewelry. I used the skills I learned in your wire wrap class in February to make a bracelet. Thanks for providing the inspiration and information I needed!"
