STUDENT WORK

RENATE

"Before the first class I took with Kristin Diener had ended I was already looking forward to the second one. Kristin is one of those amazing teachers who has the rare ability to make learning feel easy and effortless. In those first few classes, the techniques I was learning kept building on each other until I surprised myself with what I had made and what I saw was possible. And Kristin is very generous with her time and expertise...she always has a relevant tip for the project at hand and encouragement just when you need it. She's an expert at helping you turn a complicated concept into something tangible. With all the resources in her studio: tons of books, magazines, tools, and equipment; Kristin has always been able to guide even the most amorphous ideas I've had into the reality of a finished piece of jewelry. And one of the best things about spending time in class and studio is that it's fun! It's a unique opportunity to learn from other students as well as the expertise Kristin brings. While a lot of work gets done, the environment is so relaxed and casual that time whizzes by. After numerous classes, workshops, and open studios with Kristin, I'm still looking forward to the next one."
