About the instructor:

Donna Penoyer is a Pittsburgh-based handmade jewelry artisan specializing in metal clay, a medium — in her words — “responds well to both spontaneity and revision; that has the potential to look rustic or refined, austere or whimsical, with satisfying immediacy; that’s strong, beautiful, and precious; and that transforms all the way from clay to metal, from simple lump to complex construction.”

Teaching various workshops throughout the region since 2006, Donna loves helping others discover the metal clay medium and the rewarding work creativity can produce. See her work at donnapenoyer.com.
