POUNCING RAIN Jewelry and Metal Working Center

What is Pouncing Rain?
Pouncing Rain Jewelry and Metal Working Center is a community education center.  We offer ongoing weekly classes in jewelry making and silversmithing, as well as one and two day workshops in various other jewelry making techniques.  We have a studio membership program for students and community jewelry/metal artist to work independently in our fully equipped studio.  It is a supportive, fun, social environment that gives our members a chance to interact with peers, share ideas and produce jewelry art.

Pouncing Rain also has a retail store that sells jewelry making tools, equipment and supplies.  We are a Thompson Enamel distributor as well carry the line of Precious Metal Clay©, We have the tools and equipment to make jewelry as well as a selection of beads, charms, gemstones and raw metals and wires for the students and the public.  In the retail store, we also hosts our member's gallery, which is a a retail outlet for members to show and sell a sampling of their work.  It is exciting and inspiring to see the talent in our community.

Our core curriculum is taught by Judith Gauthier and Nanz Aalund, both are wonderfully gifted teachers and artists.  We also draw on the jewelry arts community for our workshop instructors. We have talented wire workers, glass artists, bead artists, Precious Metal Clay© artists, as well as guest silversmiths and metal artists who teach. We are blessed with a talented and helpful staff that are all either former students or studio members and have a love and enthusiasm for this great medium of jewelry arts.

We invite you to come and visit us. Come join our community and share with us this fascinating and diverse art.  We are located in Bellingham Washington, between Seattle and Vancouver British Columbia.
