Questions
Questions from North Idaho
How far is the studio from Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls?
Under an hour from most of North Idaho. Head west on I-90 into Spokane Valley, then south to Valleyford. It’s worth leaving a little early so you arrive 5–10 minutes before class.
I’ve never done anything like this. Is that okay?
That’s most people, and it’s who the classes are built for. We start with how to hold the saw, and nobody is ever behind.
How long does it take to make a ring?
Plan on 3–4 hours for the ring workshop, start to finish, including time to choose your stone. You leave wearing the ring.
What should I wear to a jewelry making class?
Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, and closed-toe shoes. Tie back long hair and skip loose sleeves or dangly scarves, since you’ll be working near a torch. Everything else, from tools to safety gear, is at your bench.
Can I give a class as a gift?
Yes. Reserve a seat in their name, or send a gift card and let them pick the date. It’s an experience gift that ends with something they keep. Kukio gift cards →
