Hello…

I’m an architect, an a beginner in the jewelry making art, specially
interested in metalsmithing and bech techniques. I started two years
ago and I’m really interested of being part of such a enlightening
community. I hope to make a contribution to this projects as I’m
benefiting from it. Kind regards.

Marlen.

Greetings and Salutations!

I’m a recovering computer/finance geek (and amateur artist) who has
finally, joyfully, and with huge relief figured out she should have
been a goldsmith in the first place. To that end I’m starting
intensive training this fall here in London and have been bashing
away at my embryonic jeweler’s bench to keep my twitchy fingers
busy. It’s going great so far (patting self on back) which is a good
thing, because I suspect I don’t even know how much I don’t know, if
you catch my drift.

I’d like to thank the extremely talented Janet Alix in Marin County
for turning me onto Ganoksin and Orchid 18 months ago. At that
point, it had never occurred to me a person could make a career out
of playing with metal and gems all day, so to say that I’m grateful
to her and this whole community for pointing me toward my true
vocation is a whopper of an understatement. Thank you!
