I took Sue's beginner ring class, so fun! She is an excellent teacher with the ability to meet each student where they are and make them feel comfortable. I love my ring, The class gave me confidence to try on my own, but i am also looking forward to taking more classes.

I loved our ring making class! I'd never done any metal working before. Sue was so patient, and such a good teacher. The small class size made it really easy to follow along and get our rings made. I really enjoyed this and will definitely be checking out more classes!

My fiancé and I have been working with Sue on creating our wedding bands and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Sue has made the process fun, engaging, and it’s helping us get more excited for our wedding day. I’d highly highly recommend Torn Edge Arts for a great date night or fun activity for a group of friends.

This art studio is amazing - after 2 classes I have learned so much! Sue, the artist, is a fantastic teacher who is encouraging, patient and flexible. She had designs prepared that have taught me basic metalsmithing yet she also assisted me in my own designs. Highly recommend!

By far the best arts class I’ve taken. I didn’t really come in with high expectations as I’ve taken numerous crafting classes over the years. The ring making class was totally different. Sue has an obvious love of teaching and she’s so so good at it. From the initial explanation of the steps and processes to the working help she never left out sides. I can’t wait to take the metal smithing class from her next.

If you have ever been curious about jewelry making and have wanted to give it a try, you should absolutely sign up for a class with Sue at Torn Edge Arts. I had never done any soldering or metal arts of any kind before taking a class with Sue. I was nervous about my lack of experience, but it was not necessary. Sue is a very patient teacher, you get a lot of individual attention, and the classes are laid back and upbeat. Highly recommend.

I was at the succulent stained-glass class. Despite my complete lack of artistic skills and increasing frustration with my own abilities, Sue was able to guide me and give me the confidence to put together a neat sculpture. I will definitely be going back.
