Joe Silvera joins the Beaducation faculty with over 22 years of metalworking experience. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Joe achieved a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree in Metalsmithing from CSU Long Beach. It was there that he fell in love with jewelry making and wanted to make a career of it.
After moving back to the Bay Area, Joe met his wife Anat, who is also a jewelry maker. They spent a year living in France before returning to Northern California and opening a bead and yarn store. That store has since closed; they opened Silvera Jewelry School in Berkeley, CA in 2011 where they offer evening, one-day, and multi-day workshops in metalsmithing techniques.

What a fun and cool person not to mention the artistic side. I’m going to make it a goal of mine to take some more class’s and do what I want and that is to learn all I can about metalsmithing. Thanks for the inspiration Joe and Beaducation. Of course you would be the best with your last name being Silver--a.
