My name is Richard Hillman and I have been creating jewelry for about
a year. I am a fourth generation rock hound. I still have rocks from
my great-grandfather that I am working with. I have always wanted to
make jewelry, so I decided to give it a try. With minimal instruction
from some of my mentors I am able to fabricate most anything in
sterling silver. My creative drive dwarfs my mechanical and technical
abilities so I am always looking for hints, tips and such. My goal
would be to have my technical ability match my creative ability.
Pointers, tips and help are always appreciated!

Thank you
Richard
