Dear Carol Suber, I would like to recommend a great starter book
available thru the Rio Grande Catalog… The Complete Metalsmith
by Tim McCreight… I used an earlier edition when I started
out and I am still going back to it today . May I encourage you
to always ask questions otherwise how can you get answers. I am
new to thiis forum but it is the most open dynamic thing I have
experienced in a long time…Kindred Questioner LynnOssa
I saw your post on Orchid. What kind of jewels/metal objects are
you making or wanting to make. My wife and I have made our
living selling our jewelwork at juried art shows for nearly 30
years. We now also teach at the Mendocino Art Center on the
Calif. coast north of San Francisco.
I very much enjoy helping people get started in jewelry
endeavors.
Are you interested in selling your work and, and if so, in what
kind of marketplace?
