Make something
beautiful
with your own hands.
At Shine Metalsmith, every workshop is built around one idea: that making something with your own hands changes the way you see it. You'll work with real sterling silver, real jeweler's tools, and real techniques — and walk out with something wearable, meaningful, and entirely yours.
"Every person who walks through that door thinks they can't do this.
Every Person leaves knowing they can."
Every single student who walks through the door says the same thing: "I've never done anything like this." And every single one of them leaves with something they made themselves - something real, wearable, and a little bit magic

All skill levels welcome. All materials included. Intentionally small classes means you’ll get guidance with each step- from your first cut to your finished piece.

Meet 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.
