Custom wedding rings and unique mokume gane jewelry
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all of my work here at Anneville Studio. My meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings, vessels, boxes, bracelets and other jewelry are all created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets right here in my Liberty Station studio and create everything from scratch using ethically sourced metals. Browse ring designs and get a free quote.

Featured Classes
Rolling Mill 101
November 16, 2019 - Saturday 9am-4pm
Instructor: Anne Wolf. Tuition: $120 plus $10 materials fee payable by cash or card in class.
Useful for everything from printing textures on metal to rolling out ingots, the rolling mill is a ubiquitous but expensive piece of jewelry equipment. We'll cover proper safety, use and maintenance while you create cool textures on copper and brass, roll sheets to specific thicknesses, and change the shape and size of wire. Care and training is needed to use a mill properly - after this class you will be certified to use the mill on your own during open lab time. Great for beginners - you'll have time to create a simple finished pendant with your textured metal. Also perfect for anyone ready to purchase their own mill - try ours first and get our recommendations. Register.

Save Ye the Date! Merry Maker's Market First Friday, December 6th from 4-9pm
Hear ye, hear ye minstrels, maidens and mercenaries, conserve your gold coin for our Merry Maker's Market. On December 6th you'll find our village stalls both inside and out festooned with bright holly, sparkling lights, fragrant pine boughs, piping hot cider, and a full complement of cheery makers proffering their sparkling silver, gold, brass and bejeweled wares. Take in the festively crisp night air (perhaps, I mean it is San Diego) of Liberty Station's outdoor European-style Christmas market where we'll have a stall or step lightly to the second floor of Barracks 15 to revel in medieval holiday charm as you browse our two small shops. Find the perfect holiday gift for that special baker, butcher or cobbler in your life or pick out a one-of-a-kind treasure for yourself. First Friday is Liberty Station's monthly open studio event so in addition to visiting us you can explore the Liberty Public Market, visit nearby shops and studios and catch live entertainment - all with easy parking. Bring a friend or make one here, either way it will be an evening of magical wintry delights - we hope you'll join us! Get details and directions.

1st Birthday Dia de Los Muertos style!
Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by to sip sangria, nibble on pan de muertos and Anne's fresh chile lime fruit and help us celebrate our first anniversary. We really appreciated the help of our fabulous volunteers Karen Rood, Yoko Rover, and Jean Franceschiello. We especially enjoyed the company of dear friends & students Guadelupe & Ray and Marie & Pat, both of whom stayed and visited, which was a real joy. The free 8pm raffle was quite a hit with Anne (student) winning Jeff Fulkerson's rhodocrosite cabochon, an adorable dad & daughter duo winning (with absolute delight) Julie's Monroe's enamel calavera pendant, Marie (of Marie & Pat!) winning Anne's calavera brooch and our own Carol Miles winning the grand prize of a free one month Gold membership to the lab ($150 value!). It's hard to believe that we opened our doors a whole year ago. In that time we've cultivated a family of 120 active students and 5 instructors - all of whom bring their own wonderful ideas, questions and expertise to every class. Over the past 10 months we've hosted 25 classes, 3 visiting artist workshops and logged dozens of open lab hours. Our mailing list has steadily grown to over 600 contacts and we have tons of interesting photos, videos and tips & tricks to post our Instagram and Facebook feeds. There's so much going on it's hard to find the time to parse through it all! But we're working on a fun slideshow so stay tuned. First Friday photos and video coming soon!

"Anne was so wonderful to work with for my fiancé's wedding ring! She answered all of our questions during the process and above all, the ring is gorgeous, beautiful, unique and perfect! Thank you, Anne. You have created an heirloom we will treasure for a long time." ~ Emily & Greg
"The Patina class today was so much fun and a wonderful learning experience. We learned several different techniques and which metals worked best with each technique. Ann is an exceptional instructor, experienced, knowledgeable and devoted to her art. She encourages her students to develop their skills, improve their techniques and to be fearless when creating. As long as there are classes offered, I will certainly be taking them!" ~ Jean F., San Diego
