INSTRUCTOR
Sarah Mann is an accomplished professional jeweler of over 20 years. She studied jewelry design under Heikki Seppa at Washington University in St Louis and at the Fuji Studio in Florence, Italy. Being a maker connects Sarah to her deep family roots of craftsmen and inventors. She brings her “go-for-it!” attitude to teaching; encouraging her students to set aside fear, intimidation, and lack of knowledge to pursue their interests. After all, mistakes often lead to the greatest discoveries. When not making work, Sarah gardens...a lot. Her passion is native gardening, which she finds to be relaxing, meditative, and inspiring.
