Marissa O'Brein has been a student of the arts for many years. Most recently, she has turned her creative attention to designing and hand crafting timeless, classic styled jewelry from fine silver, sterling silver, Precious Metal Clay (PMC), and semi precious beads and stones. Marissa focuses much of her energy on teaching jewelry classes; PMC and chainmaille because this allows her to share her passion with others. Student review of Marissa's classes can be found on the PMC Guild web site, www.pmcguild.com. Marissa continues to experiment and learn so she can share this newfound knowledge with her students. She is certified by Rio Rewards PMC Certification Program and Art Clay Society Level 1. Marissa has studied with Senior Metal Clay Instructors Carol Babineau, Chris Darway, Celie Fago, and CeCe Wire.
