Images from the Wrap-Around
Step Ring Project
"It is the metalsmith with a curious mind that will grow by leaps and bounds.
We are here to help YOU make that happen!"
When you post in the Mastermind Facebook group, everyone will cheer you on, but even more importantly, participants may ask each other why they decided to do something in a particular way, or how they did a particular thing, etc. This way we all learn and grow. We hear answers to questions we didn’t know we had and our curiosity and creativity expands!
What is it like to work on projects in the Mastermind?
GROUP PROJECTS
You’ll have the opportunity to work on any project whenever you like. At times, we may choose to work on a project as a group, while simultaneously, you may choose to work on an individual project.
This is an organic, flexible group & everyone works at their own pace.
Kent suggests parameters to projects, giving students things to consider when working on their designs. He helps students trouble-shoot the tech aspects of what they want to create, and off we go!
PERSONAL PROJECTS
Jump in and get started! Choose a project available in the group, or get Kent's help with your commissioned project, your bezel settings, rings, bales, hinges, or your first tube! All are welcome.
We all have shows, vacations, and just unexpected events that come up over the course of a year.
This Mastermind is designed for you to drop in and out at your convenience. No pressure, no getting behind, no worries!
What our students are saying
about the Mastermind
Working with Kent and becoming a part of the Mastermind community has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career as a metalsmith.
Although I’ve been a working goldsmith for over 40 years and have evolved into working at a fairly high level, under Kent’s eye I have learned so many new techniques and solutions to challenges I’ve encountered through the years, that my ‘maker’s toolbox‘ has increased tenfold.
Not only that, but working with Kent has boosted my confidence to dive right in and do the hard stuff! I was at a point in my career where my work was either filling a client’s needs or following my tried and true formulas.
Kent has given me so many new ideas and a boost of enthusiasm. I highly recommend this course and community for anyone with a passion for metalwork and a desire to grow.
—MARGARET ÖSTLING, Östling Jewelry Design
I began studying with Kent in 2019. It has been an incredible journey and I feel so lucky to be learning from a true master goldsmith from my home studio.
I started by taking the online classes, Going Tubular, followed by Architecture of a Ring. I then wanted to learn granulation so I went to an in person workshop. I have continued studying with Kent by joining his Mastermind membership.
This a group of like minded jewelers who want to stay connected and further our learning. I continue to learn so much from Kent’s demonstrations, asking any questions that come up and from the group and feel inspired and supported in my jewelry learning.
—SUSIE MILLER, Jewery Designer
“Kent is a gifted and patient teacher/mentor. I am learning from a true master goldsmith from my home studio”
Studying with Kent is the best jewelry learning experience that I have ever had. Every aspect of my skills have improved from fabrication and soldering, to stone setting and design.
My confidence has grown because Kent is always there to answer questions and help me through any challenge. I continue to benefit from participating in the Mastermind Class with all the Reference Projects, Mini Lessons, and Guest Speakers. I plan to sign up again!
—DAVID NELSON, Architect, Jewelry Designer, Metalsmith
This past year as a member of Kent's Mastermind group has been AMAZING!!! I have learned so much through all of the projects, Kent's advice is always spot on and very helpful and the guest speakers have been fantastic!
I have received so much inspiration from everyone in the group and the projects have helped me really stretch my own skills in a way I only could have imagined before! I'm looking forward to learning more this next year, and I'm very grateful to be a part of this amazing group!
—CHRISTINA HARMON, Metalsmith
