About our Studio

Thanks for checking us out. My name is Melissa Kay-Steves, a Metalsmith and Instructor and owner of CharmTree Jewelry Studio. For the past 4 years, I've been committed to helping people along their metalsmith journey. At CJS, we offer an array of workshops in fabrication, soldering, bezel setting, precious metal clay, forming and more! I teach most of the classes myself, and we also have some incredible guest instructors. When you walk in the door, you'll find a nurturing environment and a wonderful community of makers. You'll make lasting friendships here! Our unique and highly personalized method of teaching creates an environment that encourages the beginner and nudges the expert to push the boundaries of their creativity. Swing by and say "hello!"  I would love to meet you and talk to you about how I can help you forge a path in jewlery making.

Stay & Play

Kent Island

Our studio is located on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland just one mile from the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial "Bay Bridge" and 15 miles East of Annapolis. 

​

Kent Island is a wedding destination area with it's breezy waterfront restaurants and tiki bars. When you are not making beautiful jewelry, enjoy biking or walking the winding Cross Island Trail, exploring the parks, or relaxing on the beaches and tiki bars while sipping crushes at sunset. 

 

There are 7 hotels and plenty of accomodations:
