Learn How to Make Your Own Jewelry
Jewelry Making Lessons in New Berlin, PA
Looking to try your hand at jewelry making near Lewisburg or the Susquehanna Valley? Join me in my home studio in New Berlin, PA for a creative, hands-on experience where you’ll learn traditional metalsmithing techniques and leave with a piece of handmade jewelry you designed yourself.
These small group sessions (limited to 3 people) offer a relaxed, personal environment where you can explore your creativity at your own pace. Whether you're from Lewisburg, Selinsgrove, Mifflinburg—or visiting the Central Pennsylvania region—this is a great way to connect with local art and learn something new.
Come on your own or with a friend or two (each person books separately). You don’t have to make the same project—each participant is welcome to choose their own design. The examples shown during booking are just a starting point—you're free to bring your own ideas and inspiration.
Learn Jewelry Making from a Local Artist
I’m Sarah Binder, the artist behind Sincerely Sarah Jewelry, and I’ve been making jewelry for over two decades. What began with beading and an early love for Native American art turned into a passion for metalsmithing when a high school teacher encouraged me to take a course. Today, I handcraft each piece in my New Berlin studio, drawing inspiration from the textures and forms of the natural world around us.
Now, I’m opening up that space to teach others who are curious about the craft. Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to try something new, these sessions are a meaningful way to learn, make, and take home something truly one-of-a-kind.
As an artist I also have room to learn and grow, the jewelry projects that can completed in my studio are limited to my skill set and tools available. If you have questions feel free to contact me!
