J’Adorn Designs is the jewelry design studio of artist, jeweler, and metalsmith Alison Jefferies, who discovered her passion for personalized accessories while planning her own wedding in 2011.

Just a few months later, Alison opened an online shop to sell her designs.
Since its founding in 2012, J’Adorn Designs has grown into a full-service jeweler specializing in delicate jewelry and hair accessories using colorful gemstones and often featuring botanical forms.

Leona’s Sewing Studio is located in Suite 214 of the Carding Building, one of oldest buildings of Historic Savage Mill. In the early 1800s, all of the functions of the textile mill were housed in the Carding Building, including processing raw cotton, carding, spinning and weaving.
Now, Leona’s Sewing Studio will take its place by returning a small part of the Carding Building to some of the original textile-related business functions. Leona's Sewing Studio offers a rich portfolio of sewing, design and quilting courses for the beginner, intermediate and advanced level sewer. The portfolio includes, but is not limited to, sewing, quilting, pattern drafting and sewing machine repair. Leona’s Sewing Studio also offers custom clothing services for just about anyone. However, the main focus is designing custom clothing for clergy and liturgical dancers. One of the primary principles of Leona’s Sewing Studio is to give back to the community. Special projects are planned that pertain to community service both internationally and in the local area. Leona’s Sewing Studio is geared to helping America regain hope and prosperity through sewing and quilting, a relaxing and rewarding life skill. We hope you will join us for class as we re-create and re-connect with textile history at the Historic Savage Mill.

Jessica has spent the last 31 years as a Navy spouse and has enjoyed traveling throughout the world and all around the United States, usually en route to the next coastal city she would call home.
Form, line, shape and color have always intrigued her. She first became drawn to jewelry at one of the early stops in her travels when she worked as a jewelry and accessories buyer for a major department store. She was amazed by the fabrication and design process. The possibilities of what could be made seemed endless. This awe and wonder led her to take classes, which led to more classes and a life of learning and making.
Jessica’s work focuses on her love of color, texture and geometric form. She uses enamel, gemstones, silver, gold and patina in her jewelry. She adds texture to her work by using photographs taken during her travels, which she uses to create texture plates etched with the images.
Jessica studied Studio Art with a concentration in Metals at Monterey Peninsula College in California. She has also enjoyed perfecting her craft by taking classes at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and The New Approach School for Jewelers in Tennessee, Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft in North Carolina and Metalwerx in Massachusetts. She is currently a community member and president of the board of directors at the Baltimore Jewelry Center. She works as a studio jeweler and sells her work through her company Studio JmcG Jewelry, at national art shows, in galleries and on her website.

Hi, I’m Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller… DC wedding photographer.
I love being a wedding photographer in DC and feel very fortunate that my grandparents and parents, were so active in photographing our lives and documenting all those precious moments for us. Growing up I didn’t get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say “if you don’t sit still we will be here all day”. As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I’m so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands.
Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.
