Felicia Velez has over 30 years of experience in the world of jewelry making, she is a self-taught artist and the proud owner of Cositas By Felicia. My journey with jewelry making started back in college, where I discovered the art of creating with my hands as a self-care option, providing myself a creative outlet and therapeutic relief alongside my career as the mental health counselor at Kingswood Oxford. What began as a personal practice quickly grew into a passionate business, combining my love for creativity with my desire to inspire others. I work with a wide range of mediums including beads, wire, clay, stringing, and more—always experimenting with new techniques and materials to create unique, handcrafted pieces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. Whether I’m designing a necklace, bracelet, or earrings, my focus is always on quality craftsmanship and personal expression. As an educator, I have taught jewelry making to a diverse range of students, from children to adults. I’ve shared my knowledge at places like Michaels Craft Stores, Windsor Adult Education, and through private lessons. Nothing brings me more joy than helping others unlock their own creativity and craft their own jewelry masterpieces.
Adam Barley has over 15 years of experience teaching and performing music professionally, he brings a passion for helping students unlock their full potential. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Carson Newman University and a Master’s Degree in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. My expertise spans guitar, voice, piano, and electronic music production. I’ve had the privilege of studying and performing alongside internationally renowned touring artists and educators across diverse genres, including classical, pop, funk, blues, fusion, electronica, and hip-hop. These experiences have shaped my approach to music and deepened my love for sharing the joy of learning and creating with every student. My goal is to inspire, empower, and help each individual discover their unique musical voice.
