Ginger hoffmeier Hoffmeier
Howell, New Jersey. USA

I’m a retired graphic designer recovering from cancer. Instead of
returning to graphic design I remembered my two College courses (30
years ago) in jewelry making and dug my old tools out of the
basement.

I’m working in fine or argentium silver. My soldering skills are
rusty but I’m working on them. So far my designs are far better than
my ability to produce them. Making a living --or even covering
expenses at this time is laughable, but watching the surface of
silver shimmer under the torch and leav e seemingly wet ripples
excites me.

Sandra Martin
Oshawa, Ontario. Canada

My name is Sandra Correia Martin. I am a goldsmith and studied at
George Brown College in Toronto. I enjoy designing, hand
fabricating, wax carving and chain making. I was born in Germany.
