The Local Artisan Collective — Attraction in Ogden

I cannot say enough how wonderful this place is! I ran into it by chance while visiting Ogden and I kept returning whenever we have to stay over in town. I signed up for the silver snake ring class and ended up taking one more class on making a copper bowl. Then on my next visit, I asked for a private lesson where I could design a copper bowl on my own and re-make my silver snake ring into a bracelet. The ring was gorgeous, but was a bit heavy for my finger. Now the beautiful light bracelet is just perfect! The abstract bowl I made is also very much to my style.

Edit - The pottery teachers have their own small business that they run out of the local artisan collective - I think it's...

I went to the glass pendant class. First time ever doing this and Mike was very thorough and enjoyable. He went over basic history, talked about the equipment and the different kinds of glass before we started our first project. He was available to help when needed and we got to work as independently as we needed. Very good at keeping me updated about annealing (something he does after class so our pendants will be more stable) and if we have a bit of a drive to get to class he'll ship your pendants with only the charge of shipping. Loved this class and went hesitate to return and check out the other artisans. Arrive with plenty of time because parking can be a bit of a hassel at this location. Really close to the...
