Take a Class or Workshop
Curious about expressing yourself through art you can wear? My studio is a space where creativity takes center stage, and everyone is welcome—whether you’re a complete beginner or a lifelong maker. I offer classes and workshops in enameling, fused glass, and hand-sculpted jewelry, guiding you through each step as you discover new techniques and create pieces that are truly your own.
In my classes, you’ll get hands-on experience working with vibrant glass, colorful enamel, and unique sculptural forms. We’ll explore everything from the basics—like shaping and fusing glass—to more advanced skills in metalwork and design. Every session is designed to be fun, supportive, and a little bit adventurous. You’ll walk out with not just jewelry, but a real sense of accomplishment (and maybe a few new friends).
Whether you want to try something new, hone your craft, or just spend a few hours making something beautiful, you’ll find a welcoming creative community here. Come join me—let’s make something extraordinary together.
CUSTOM CRAFTED JEWELRY
Melissa Erlenbach
With over 25 years of dedication to the art of jewelry making, I’ve built my practice around passion, craftsmanship, and a relentless drive to create pieces that are both original and deeply meaningful. My work spans award-winning enameling, fused glass, and hand-sculpted jewelry—each piece crafted with care, intention, and a love of the process.
​
As the former owner of a gallery on historic Venice Island, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my designs with a vibrant community of art lovers, collectors, and students. My studio isn’t just a workspace—it’s a creative hub where tradition meets innovation, and where each piece tells its own story. Over the years, my jewelry has found its way into both public and private collections, a testament to the personal connections and lasting impressions my work aims to create.
​
Every design is custom-crafted, balancing bold color, intricate detail, and unexpected combinations of materials. Whether you’re drawn to the glow of kiln-fired enamel, the luminous depth of fused glass, or the tactile quality of hand-sculpted forms, you’ll find something truly unique here.

I invite you to make an appointment to visit my studio and discover original works shaped by decades of experience, a love of artistry, and the magic of Venice itself.
