With the Academy entering its fourth decade, I think back on how I got started making jewelry. When I hammered out my first silver band, I discovered a passion within me that I had never known before and that has not left me since. Right from the start, I loved working with my hands, making jewelry. I wanted to learn everything there was to know about jewelry, so I wound up attending a 100-year-old jewelry school in Germany. It was a life-changing experience! Upon returning to the United States, jewelers asked me to show them some of the things I had learned in Europe and in 1979 the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts opened its doors.

This is a great place to stimulate your creativity, begin a career, add new skills, network, and learn from nationally recognized crafts people who teach the skills they use every day. Our faculty includes over a dozen master crafts people and experts who love what they do and are eager to share their passion and knowledge. Our fully equipped, state-of-the-art studios feature live video enlargements so that students can see every detail during demonstrations.  

The Revere Academy occupies the corner suite on the ninth floor in the Phelan Building, San Francisco’s historic jewelry center, which is near Union Square. We are centrally located within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, museums, shops, theaters, and transportation in what is often called “America’s favorite city.”
