Brittany Golden

As a child with an overactive imagination and a habit of collecting rocks in her pockets, Brittany Golden could often be found digging to China or climbing the tallest tree. It was no surprise that Brittany became the family's resident artist. Today, she is not only a celebrated local artist, but also internationally recognized.

On a whim in 2002, Brittany signed up for a jewelry class at the local college while studying the art of creating teeth. It was here she became fascinated with the metal casting process. After pursuing her passion for working with metal further, she studied precious stone setting under Blaine Lewis and more non-traditional metal techniques with Robert Dancik. Her real-life calling was then born—jewelry making.

Starting in 2004, Brittany was the silversmith instructor at Sundance Resort for nine years while also running her own private teaching studio in Provo. In 2013, she brought her passion for silversmithing and teaching to Salt Lake City, UT. Since then, B Golden Jewelry School has offered a wide range of classes that explore various techniques and mediums in metalsmithing, including an intensive 20-week Jewelry Business Accelerator Program.

In August 2020, she was presented with the opportunity to purchase another jewelry school in Austin, TX. Since then, she has expanded her vision and passion to that space and grown both locations by adding new classes, instructors, and virtual classes.

In March 2021, the business moved into a larger building in Salt Lake City. The new location includes an extensive retail space selling tools, equipment, materials, stones, and silver supplies needed to make jewelry. Additionally, more dedicated studio spaces were created to accommodate the expansion.

Her past accolades include: Her jewelry appears in the book “30 Minute Rings” and was featured at the Sundance Gallery for ten years. She has also been the featured artist in several exhibits within Utah and galleries across the country. She was a member of the Society of North American Goldsmiths, a major sponsor at National events, and a speaker for their virtual educational series.  She was on the Craft Lake City Advisory Board for four years and helped in the growth and direction of the yearly DIY Makers Event.  She has been a judge for an International Jewelry Competition through AMCAW.  She served as the President of the Women’s Jewelry Association Salt Lake Chapter and won an award at the Leaders Conference for the fastest-growing Chapter.
