Mei-Ling Cheung has loved jewelry making with beads, fiber, clay, and paper since she was a small child. When she moved to Maine in 2007 she started a jewelry making business wire wrapping high quality gems and minerals. She dabbled in PMC (Precious Metal Clay) after taking a course at Haystack School of Crafts in 2014. In 2021 she taught herself how to silver solder and has been hooked ever since! Her classes focus on practical, hands-on skills and her style of teaching is fun and casual, yet structured and informative.
