Classes

Custom Deluxe is Lindsey Snell’s fully equipped production studio in Portland, OR and is open to the public for classes and workshops taught by the artist. Classes are designed to introduce tools, techniques, and creative problem solving through hands-on and project based work.

  • Join a small group class to learn the foundations of metalsmithing and have fun creating one of a kind pieces

  • Each student is given a set of hand tools and has access to professional equipment during class

  • All experience levels are welcome with most classes are oriented toward beginners with the opportunity to repeat classes to better develop skills.

  • In order to keep class as accessible as possible, none of the workshops require outside work or that students have access to a private studio with tools and equipment,

Lindsey has been running her custom jewelry business and teaching the Portland community for more than 10 years and brings her variety of knowledge and perspective to the studio classroom to share. Working inside an artist studio is a one of a kind experience and all classes are kept small to prioritize 1:1 attention helping you build your jewelry making skills.
