Stephanie Lee
Every now and then you get to meet an angel. I did five years ago. Stephanie offered a three day workshop, a compressive workshop, at a home in Los Angeles. Not only did I get to learn a few basics about soldering with a torch (which I was new at), and so much more, but I got to spend three days getting to know her as a person, a teacher and loves to have fun. I had worn out her wonderful book, making her projects front to back, self-teaching. So it was a truly a dream come true to get to take a three day course from the master in person. I formed some wonderful friendships in that workshop. I met Diane Cook, who came all the way from Texas, and Diana Frey, now both incredible instructors and extremely talented.
I have never told Steph what an amazing life changer she was for me. Oh come to think of it, I've told her so many times she must be sick of hearing it! When she asked if I would like to give a way a couple of her revamped Homesteader's Metalsmithing Online Classes, I was honored. I would love for you to have the nearest experience you can to what we enjoyed back in 2009. You don't get to hang out with her, and enjoy her warm and helping personality, and have a ton of laughs, but you do get to learn a ton of amazing methods, techniques and tricks of the trade. And this is a FOUR week course!
She packs a ton of information in to EVERY thing she teaches. I have taken this workshop, and it is awesome. You will learn so many wonderful things.
