Hi there… My name is Lissa and I’m very new to the list. I’m
aspiring to get into the jewelry game.This message is for everyone,
but especially to Kevin in N/W England. Kevin: I noticed in your post
that you’re both from the UK and that you took an apprenticeship.
Myself, I’m fairly young and I’m looking for an apprenticeship
somewhere in the West-South Yorkshire area of England, specifically
Wakefield or Leeds. If anyone can help me out, I’d be eternally
grateful… I’m completely at a loss as to how to get into the
business. Currently I only do beaded jewelry or beaded macrame, and
I’d like to expand my horizons into a career in jewelry somehow. Any
thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks… Lissa Kean

very few apprenticeship if any in the trade . You may find one in
London or Brum ,but you need to be very good . One of the colleges in
Leeds runs a very good 2 year B tec .You did not state which part of
