THE WORK OF KENT RAIBLE.
Hi I’m Kent Raible, pictured here with my wife and partner, Lynn.
I’ve been discovering the wonder of metals for over 50 years now, and have developed my own style of granulated 18K gold jewelry, but this journey has encompassed much more than that! In addition to the creation of countless masterpieces, I have also been teaching the jewelry arts for over 4 decades. The art of precision handmade jewelry fabrication is my first love, and over the years I have learned a million tricks, tool and design options and skills, all of which I want to share with you! You can check out my work here.
I have streamlined my knowledge so that I can offer you a direct route to up-level your skills in specific areas of jewelry fabrication. Your palette of skills to draw from is about to get bigger! You will be able to dive deeper into the creative manipulation of metal and create more beautifully executed and complex designs. My self-guided courses and mentored programs are designed to improve your technical prowess, and enhance your creative abilities.
