Jen Land
I am a jewelry designer, metalsmith, and certified Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, trained in metalsmithing, jewelry design, and fabrication from the Creative Arts Center and Craft Guild of Dallas.
Teaching is at the heart of what I do. I love creating a space where people can explore metalsmithing and jewelry design with curiosity, confidence, and joy. My classes are hands-on and designed to help each person discover their own creative voice — encouraging them to express themselves and walk away with both creative skills and a sense of accomplishment.
At the heart of everything I create and teach is a simple belief: that everyone has the power to create, and that creative expression is not just a gift — it is essential to living fully.

✦Jen at Shine Metalsmith and Jewelry Design has the perfect combination of teaching skills and knowledge.
She is skilled in this medium and ensures that you will feel successful in metalsmithing and jewelry making! I have been able to use the techniques that Jen taught to continue creating my own jewelry! Jen has a unique way of allowing creative freedom while still making sure her students follow best practices within this art form. I always look forward to jewelry class with Jen!

✦This class was a game changer for my daughter.
Not only did my teen learn the skill of making jewelry, her confidence soared. Jen Land is an amazing and talented jeweler with the ability to transfer her passion to her students and teaches in a way that inspires. My daughter came away from her class inspired and with the knowledge to create. We are very lucky to have found this program.
