About the Alcademy:
“This metalsmithing school has arrived out of my drive to share my knowledge, skills, tools and self! After completing my degrees in Metalsmithing from Western Michigan University in 1974, I focused on Celtic Design and contemporary goldsmithing for many years. In the last few years, I’ve refocused into metaphysical and spiritual sacred geometric design. With my 40 plus years of experience, I’ve come to a point where teaching is the best way for me to express and pass on all of the technical, metaphysical and alchemical treasures that I’ve accumulated. In so many ways, the Alcademy is a new and exciting beginning for me. It is one I hope to share with new and excited people who can learn and grow with me and the new school.”
- Jerry Gehringer
Jerry Gehringer's extensive experience in metal working offers the old tyme secrets of this craft. With limited class size, you can expect personal and specific instruction, tailored to your needs. Jerry is so very excited to share these teachings that are rapidly disappearing from the world; many schools of higher education no longer offer these techniques. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and sign up for a workshop or open studio time!
