*************
Thank you Donna! You are a wonderful teacher and you make us feel we can do anything! I really really enjoy the class!!
--Denisa Piatti Jewellery
I have found Donna to be a great teacher, in every way. I've taken her classes three times, so far, and she teaches and guides me more each time. I see Donna helping all her students develop their own talents, at their own speed, and she gets just as excited as the students do when their projects take form and mature.
Learning from and with her is a real joy
--David W.
Donna is a patient, supportive instructor who helped me discover my untapped artistic talent. The prospect of creating with fire and metal appears like intimidating alchemy to the uninitiated, but Donna’s easy manner gave me the confidence to embrace the journey of learning a new technical skill and artistic creation.

Award
My necklace, "Reds," was awarded 2nd place
at the "Fun with One" show at DelRay Artisans in DelRay, Virginia!
Here's what juror Robin Croft wrote about it:
"Second prize goes to the most surreal assemblage posing as jewelry, "Reds" by Donna Reinsel.
"I picked it up to look at its construction, and it felt ancient, like something from an Egyptian tomb. Wire winds through it like snakes, and metal beads break up its pebbled coral seashore. It has heft, bloodiness, and richness befitting surrealist royalty."
