Album: Jewelry Making Classes, Parties, and Private Lessons

I have 25 years of jewelry making expertise

I fell in love with jewelry at five years old and I have never looked back. I designed my first collection at 24 years old and I have been making jewelry for 25 years now! I love jewelry making for the unlimited possibilities it offers and the gratification of making something tangible with my hands. It is a joy to be able to share my work and passion with other people.

I am a graduate of the California Institute of Jewelry Training in Sacramento. I offer workshops in beaded jewelry making at Sierra College in Rocklin. Each picture on the right represents a class, click on each picture for the class particulars.

If you have any questions contact me at 650-504-8588. Or you may email me at catltaylor@comcast.net.

Note to my current students: I have relocated to San Mateo, California and will not be teaching in the Sacramento area any longer.
