What happened
Nonprofit 3D-arts center in South Bend, IN (founded 2004, 8,000 sq ft, East Race district), with a current 2026 class schedule. Lists jewelry as one of three core disciplines (sculpture/pottery/jewelry) and has resident jewelers (Doug Kile, Jacqueline Carlson); current jewelry instruction is glass-bead/lampwork-oriented rather than rigorous metalsmithing.
