Hello! I started doing beadwork, well those little daisy chains,
when I was 10 because a friend’s mother was doing it. We joined her
and stole her beads! I abandoned the craft in my teens and was
re-introduced in my early 20s by a coworker’s handmade Swarovski
bracelet. In the future, I hope to learn silversmithing and advanced
beadweaving.

A jewelry designer, manufacturer wannabe :slight_smile: I’m retired and my
whole life I’ve wanted to work with jewelry, jemstones, design,
fashion, make. This site was recommended to me. I want to find a
Jewelry design school near to me in Florida.

Hi, I learned about this forum from another Jewelry related group
(Wire Wrap Jewelry on Yahoo) where a member posted some very
positive comments. I’ve been making wire wrap jewelry for about 4
years now, but am working to add Silver and Gold smithing to my
skills. So far I’ve been doing a lot of read ing,this spring I’ll
start some classes. In the mean time I hope to expand my knowledge
and understanding, and Ganoksin looks like the kind of place I need
to do that from. Thanks, Jeff
