NEW FOR 2026!

Experience an immersive weekend of designing & creating Silver & Stone Jewelry with Gary Tripp  here in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota! Gary & Nancy have enjoyed over 20 years in this field, creating & teaching, and are happy to share their wisdom & insights with you! Be prepared for 12 hours together balancing fun, work and learning  to create several pieces of beautiful Jewelry! You'll start Saturday morning at 10am, design & finish a sterling silver ring. Take a little break for lunch at one of our local eateries & return refreshed for your afternoon session! Sunday you'll be back at the bench by 10am & by 5pm you will leave with a full suite that includes: a pair of earrings, a pendant, a cuff bracelet and a ring! Plus you'll have had us all to yourselves for 2 days to get your questions answered & to hopefully inspire you as you go forth into the wild!
