All classes are now full, please email Christine at christine@jatayu.com to be put on the waiting list in case of a future cancellation.

My approach to teaching is to help you develop both technical skills, and design skills. Like a bird, both wings are needed to soar through the air in this delightful adventure of making wire jewelry. You will learn wire and sheet metal techniques to create a specific project. And, you will become acquainted with design principles, such as color, balance, movement, negative space, and texture. I am especially interested in working with you to develop your own unique style.

If you are coming from out of town, taking classes with us is pretty easy, especially if you stay at the Mission Inn, Old Town San Diego (formerly Holiday Inn Express). They have a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel. There are oodles of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Please note: A few of the two day classes are scheduled other than on Saturday and Sunday.

Airport and Hotel Information:

We have one airport, San Diego International Airport, at Lindbergh Field. A taxi costs about $20 and will take about 20 minutes to get to class. It is less costly by shuttle but less predictable on how long the drive will take. Regarding hotel reservations, people tell me making reservations on line is often less expensive.
