She discovered her love for the craft after returning to school to pursue a teaching degree with a focus in social studies. She graduated from the University of Washington in 1998 with a B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas as well as Interdisciplinary Arts, because she just couldn’t stay out of the art department. She has been teaching jewelry design since 1999 and loves what she does.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn More about the Instructor\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(4, 166, 12);\"\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(4, 166, 12);\" href=\"https:\/\/danacadesign.com\/collections\/instructors\/products\/dana-cassara-instructor-and-founder\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTools are available to purchase through Danaca Design Studio with 15% student discount code.
