Teacher Spotlight

Meet Heidi Mandich and Michelle Brennan.

Using hammers, saws, fire, and creativity, Heidi enjoys taking simple sterling silver sheet and wire and turning it into unique jewelry for people to enjoy and treasure. Her greatest joy is helping adult students discover the same joy of using fire and tools to create jewelry from simple pieces of metal.

Michelle Brennan is a chainmaille designer and co-owner of HyperLynks - Premium Chainmaille Supplies near Toronto, Ontario. Michelle has designed and self-published close to a hundred chainmaille patterns that are sold as kits worldwide.
