Hi Laura,
Welcome to the list.
Im a brasilian too and my english is very poor. This is the best forum on the net. Full of a great people that works on bench and think and talk as a big family. Here you can place your questions about jewelry technics and you will get many tips and answers from experts. Ive been a bench jeweler for the last 15 years. During that
time i had to learn many technics by myself. There were nobody to talk
and no books. Here you will have a shortcut on your way. If you need
some help or just talk about please send me a direct message to my
personal e-mail: @Christo_Kiffer1
Best reggards
