Visiting Artist Workshops

Studio JSD is bringing your favorite national artists and instructors to West Michigan!
We are proud to host visiting artists, out of town students and organization sponsored programs and we are always looking for ways to promote education and professional development in the jewelry industry.

Our guests enjoy a large, fully equipped jewelry studio, small class sizes (10 or fewer!) and professional instructors.  We are conveniently located behind Grimaldi's hand made chocolatier, within minutes of sandy Lake Michigan beaches. 

Upcoming Visiting Artist Workshops   

Studio JSD is committed to offering the safest, most conducive learning environment for students and the best teaching environment for our instructors. Because we care about helping you reach your greatest potential in our classroom, we limit the class size to no more than 10 students. That means more one on one teaching time for you and less time waiting for your questions to be addressed.  That also means a great value for your personal and financial investments!
“Maybe the best workshop I have ever attended. My fellow students, Lake Michigan, great food, fabulous studio environment, and.......Michael David Sturlin!"
