At Harold Studio, not only do we want to help you achieve your goals of learning a new skill, it is our objective to help you be the best you can be at silversmithing. That is why places like Halstead Bead trust us with their employee training, ASU and NAU ask us to show their metals program our stone setting techniques and many of the best independent jewelry makers in Arizona come to us to learn.

We were looking for technical training for a staff member at our jewelry supply company. Johanna worked with us to develop a custom one-on-one class to advance the skills of the individual. It was a highly effective intensive tailored precisely to meet our needs. We would highly recommend classes and custom training at Harold Studio. Johanna is great to work with and an excellent teacher! - Hilary Halstead of Halstead Bead
