This web site provides class and workshop  listings for my classes and is updated continuously. In an effort to give you an insight to my  teaching skills and style I have made available free tutorial downloads saved as PDF files and videos. Please take  time to explore them, you just might learn something new!  
I always wanted to be a teacher while growing up. Due to a learning disorder, I didn't learn the same way everyone was taught. I didn't fit into the cookie cutter way of structured teaching and always thought that there were other ways to teach. I just wasn't being taught the way I needed to be.

As I got older, I learned how to teach myself and my grades skyrocketed to nearly straight A's. I now apply my technique to teaching jewelry. I try to make it fun and non-stressful. I understand the jitters that effect someone when they are just about to light that torch for the first time, or try something new.

Whether you want to make jewelry for the fun of it or you want to change careers you will always learn more than you expected. I'm the type of person that if I don't know the answer to a question, I will learn it and get back to the question. My motto is, "I always try to learn something new each and every day."

What Students Are Saying

Janet has taught jewelry making for over 12 years. Here are some of her students remarks about her teaching style.
Dana Brock, Plano TX.
Janet, thank you!  You are an incredibly talented instructor.  I had the best time, and I am so excited about the class and the results, (it's all I want to talk about).  I learned a great deal about PMC and feel very comfortable with all the design elements we covered in class.  I am anxious to get some clay in my hands. 
Sabra Hardy NY, NY
"God bless you; I found your videos and tutorials using a saw, making a mold, and vulcanizing in a kiln so very helpful."
Tracy Williams Ft. Worth, TX
"Because of Janet's patience, her willingness to allow one’s “creative genius” to blossom, her encouragement and her passion for her trade, I learned more than I could have imagined." 
Billy Conley  (discusses Janet's Wax Carving Tutorial)
"Tutorial was the simplest, most detailed yet not intimidating material I have read.  It is also the most motivational.  It should be published and sold everywhere."
Christine Erickson, Dallas TX
"When I moved to Dallas last summer, I was thrilled to find a metal fabrication class so close to my new home.  The Friday night class with Janet Alexander was even better than I expected:  Janet's range of experience and depth of knowledge are outstanding, and her enthusiasm for sharing that knowledge is inspiring and fun." December 29, 2010.
Katrina Knauss, Dallas TX
"I just completed a beginners metal fabrication course with Janet. She is an excellent teacher! Her instruction was incredibly dedicated to detail, much more than the expected basics, with all sorts of juicy tips and secrets only gleaned from years of experience generously sprinkled in. She inspired my confidence in my own abilities to accomplish what she was teaching me. I was most impressed with her inventiveness, her problem-solving abilities and her patience in working with beginners. I plan to take another course with her in the near future!"
Laurie Trice , Dallas TX
Great class Janet! I learned more than I could have imagined and appreciate your giving me the chance to practice my creativity. I really do love the pieces I made in class and no one can believe I actually made them! Plus it was fun with you, me and Chris in there - a great way to spend Saturday!
