Harold Studio LLC — Local services in Phoenix

Was so excited to go here. Been thinking about this for so long and finally got the courage to search for places for instruction. Secured a spot in the September class as the August class is already filled. Received a solicitation from Harold’s stating they have gold castings available. I thought they only worked in silver. My goal is to work in gold eventually so I sent an email asking what path of classes if any would she suggest. The next morning I see a refund notification for the September class I secured. I was confused and emailed asking for the reason why I was dropped from the class? The owner responded that she took the liberty of removing me as this class does not work in gold and next time read the description before signing up! I understood the class was not in gold. I am a beginner. Gold is expensive. I would think just starting out one would work in silver. Metal is metal. The skills learned from a silver class could be transferred to gold later on. I was just excited and wanted to map out my learning path. I see the great reviews and quick sell outs, not sure if there isn’t a need to be kind due to popularity or she was just having a bad day. I wrote back that I feel the class would still be valuable. No reply. No oh of course it would still be helpful. Please sign up again or apologize for assuming and dropping me without having a conversation, nothing. Kind of took the wind out of my sails.

There aren’t enough good things to say about Harold Studio. Johanna and Cher are the best. They’re patient, kind, compassionate and just overall amazing human beings. It’s a bonus that they’re also the best jewelry teachers I’ve had the pleasure of learning under the guidance of. This studio has everything a newbie or veteran silversmith needs. The space itself offers torches, files, benches, etc all while equipped with some really cute decor. Not only are the studio and teachers great but the community of people who come here to use the space are just as awesome. They’re all very helpful and you can always ask questions and share tips without feeling insecure. I love this studio and know you will too. I highly encourage you take a class. I’ve taken 3 now with Cher and I always leave with new skills and new jewelry to take home....

This place is AMAZING! I looked at many different jewelry studios last fall before starting here, and all the great reviews don't even give it the credit it deserves! Johanna and Michelle are so wonderful, knowledgeable, and warm. This leads to an environment where the classes are not only very well taught, but well-paced and fun at the same time. It does not matter what your skill level is when starting, and they are patient and helpful with each project. The prices are great, the studio is very well-equipped, and you will find you are surrounded with other people who love to create and are excited to learn. I am so thrilled that I chose to start metal working and learning at Harold Studio. I cannot say enough that if you are looking to learn the art of jewelry making, you could not pick a better...
