Hi, My name is Susan and I love to design jewelry and have started
out by beading and am now wanting to learn metalsmithing. I work a
full time day job so my time is so limited to grow in this as I would
love to be able to make a living from this art. I find it beautiful.
Ideas and designs just pop into my head. I write them down.
Unfortunately I don’t know the techniques to produce them. So little
by little I will learn and hope this organization and teaching tools
will advance me. I feel fortunate to have found you. Thank you.
Sincerely, Susan Brown
