"A note to anyone considering summer classes at the Colorado School of Jewelry and Metal Arts."
"Last year when I found out Jerry Scavezze was teaching Anticlastic Raising. The decision was Instant .... I'm There!"
"The three day class was all I was looking for and more. The studio was very comfortable and the work stations were more than adequate to accomplish all instructions and applications."
"Instruction was very clear and easy to apply, plus ... all of the one- on- one assistance for any skill level was amply provided."
"I can only say "GO" to anyone considering Jerry's class, let alone one on one with Tom Herman..... OH MY!"
"OH YES!!..... The Location... Salida Colorado, The mountains, Restaurants, Galleries, Night Life, Coffee Shops Etc...."
Life is Good."
"Peace" .. Tim Regan

"You might want to consider a workshop on anticlastic raising. This type of metalworking lends itself to the characteristics you want: strength and flexability Bracelets that retain their springiness, so to speak. Even with daimonds set in them!!IMHO, the metal, whether silver or gold, is not so much important as the technique. A good place to start is looking at Jerry Scavezze's anticlastic work on his website. He also teaches a workshop on this technique. On a related note, I recently attended a workshop there with Jacob Snow as the teacher! It was great! Salida Colorado Rocks!! the link is scavezzegoldsmith.com. usual disclaimers: just friends and a satisfied customer."

"I just wanted to thank you for teaching an absolutely amazing class. I learned more from you about anticlastic raising in the first 20 minutes of class than I have learned in all my other classes combined. You explained everything in a way that was immediately comprehensible and inspiring. You were very patient with all of us, and had thoughtful and inventive answers to our many questions. I cannot wait to take more classes from the school and from you! (Advanced anticlastic raising perhaps?) ;) Thank you for sharing your skills as a master of the form. I haven't gone back to my hpx yet, but it's calling to me--I think I'll be working on it tonight...and then another."
"Thank you for a wonderful experience Jerry!"
