Check out these awesome skull pendants from this weekend's class with the wonderful Deb Ryan!

If you've taken a class with Deb, you know what a treat it is. From her ever-popular stacking rings to unique projects like these skull pendants, she's always coming up with something fun, listening to what people want to make next, and encouraging everyone to explore their creativity.

Here's something you might not know about Deb. She's been part of Makers Mill since 2021 and was one of the people who helped bring our Jewelry & Metalsmithing Shop to life! She started teaching when we opened in 2022 and has been sharing her love of silver, stones, and metalsmithing ever since.

And her support doesn't stop when class ends. Deb is one of our biggest cheerleaders, always spreading the word about Makers Mill, welcoming new makers, and sharing thoughtful feedback that helps us keep growing.

And here's some good news! You can catch Deb at our Holiday Market & Open House on Sunday, November 15th, from 1–4pm! She'll have beautiful handmade jewelry and stones for sale AND she'll be helping with a free metalsmithing demo. Come say hello, watch some making in action, and maybe find something special to take home!

Deb, THANK YOU! For your creativity, generosity, enthusiasm, and all the ways you help make this community what it is. We're always excited to see what you'll dream up next!
