UPDATE: April 2020
First, I hope you and those your love are all safe and healthy! While the immediate social and business effects of the pandemic are fairly obvious, how it affects our futures is less so.
I normally spend much of my time in the jewelry studio teaching classes and workshops. But those venues have been shut down. It has been frustrating for me not to be there and I'm sure for many of you who unable to get to a studio.
I miss that special camaraderie spent with other like-minded souls. I miss seeing the wonder and excitement of students mastering a technique. I miss my teaching venues and mostly, I miss the students themselves! But in the unprecedented and uncertain situation we currently find ourselves in, teaching in person is not an option at this time. It it my hope that we will have a return to "normalcy" in the not-too-distant future.
So, with time on my hands, what to do? I'm in the process of re-branding myself and exploring on-line educational options. Things there never seemed to be enough time for. I also have literally hundreds of tutorials, class projects and workshops I've written over the past 15 years or so. I use them in the classes I teach so students have a visual aid to help them remember later on. More than just a project, these tutorials and projects teach valuable skills and help build on those skills. I've decided to clean some of them up a bit and get them available on-line. I hope you find the projects and the tutorials a source of inspiration and good information to assist in building your jewelry-making arsenals!
I'll list them here and on my website as I get them done.
May you keep busy, smile often and be in good health!
Stacy :-)

THANKS FOR ALLOWING HODGEPODGERIE TO SUPPLY YOUR IMAGINATION!!
I am currently only offering Jewelry making tutorials on my Etsy supply site.
I appreciate all my customers and will strive to continue offering you the best quality and fair prices.
That being said, I currently have around 4500 reviews. All are 5 star with the exception of one 3 star review from Oct. 2020. Etsy uses only the reviews from the past 12 months to calculate the reviews for the shop. Because I only have two, the average is a disappointing 4. I've had my shop since 2007 and have never had less than a 5-star rating. If you like the tutorials, please let folks know. if you're unhappy, please contact me. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThis tutorial is great! I have wanted to cap and core my floral beads for a long time and this tutorial gave me the information and inspiration to take the plunge. It's well written and great for anyone wanting to learn how to cap and core their own beads.
