Question 8

How much space do you need to set up in my home?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how many students you have. I will bring up to 3 tables to work on. One 2.5’ x 6’ plastic table for the torch work, and two 3’ x 5’ wooden work tables that seat 5 people each. We can discuss the space you have available via email and I can work within almost any limitations. hali@hkmjewelry.com

Question 9

Can we drink alcohol and eat food during class?

Accepted Answer

Once the work is done, you may - but I require you to be of sound mind and body when using any equipment that can cause injury to you or others, if you are under the influence of any substance.
We can take a break for snacks, but there is no food or drink allowed at my work tables due to the risk of the tools rusting, and chemicals contaminating your food.
