I’ve been working at glass the last few year…flameworked beads or
‘lampwork’. I’m now interested in learning some metal work so that I
can make a few metal findings to go with my work ~clasps in
particular. You can view some of my work on my site or here at Glass
Art: http://www.glassartists.org/SweetwaterDesigns

Hi, I would consider myself an amateur silversmith who has a strong
desire and passion for making jewelry. I’ve just started my company
this year and I’m trying to hone in on my silversmithing skills by
good old fashion practice and time on the bench. I’m here to learn
from the experts and networ k with like minded folks.

I recently started making jewelry and serious about producing
professional level silver and gold pieces. I’m interested in making
contacts to discuss techniques and problem areas.
