Helpful Hints:
• Place your parts into the plastic just enough to hold firmly (removing them is easier when they’re positioned properly).
• Store Jett Ballistic™ that is heated but not used in thin, flat pieces for fast and easy re-heating for later use.

This pains me to say but ………
“Howdy everyone and welcome to December”. It pains me to say because I am not even ready for summer to be over and here we are going into December. But alas, here comes December and snow and cold and winter and cold and snow and December….. did I mention winter? (you get the idea) I really don’t mind the season changing, but I am just not ready yet. I will go into the month smiling…. (kicking and screaming on the inside though)
I know it is a little late, but here is December’s Training Schedule:
You will notice there are a few less classes this month, mainly because December is a busy month for many people. If you have free time during the week days and have a particular project in mind, REMEMBER, I keep my mornings open for working one-on-one with people doing just that, so send me an email or call the studio and set up an individual class.
Also, if you would like to schedule a GROUP SESSION with some of your friends or co-workers, that can be arranged as well, just get in touch with me, these are very fun. (doug@JewelryMonk.com or 605 718-5070)
Thanks all and take care!
Welcome to December!
