A couple of months ago I attended a weekend silversmith course and
basically took to it like a duck to water. Those two days seem to
have transformed my life. A week later I found myself at a jewellery
tool shop putting together a basic collection of tools and equipment
and then on to a metal supplier to purchase some silver. I find I’m
spending every available moment at my bench creating and as my
equipment increases am slowly spreading further and further though
my partners shed. I have a small sketch book with me constantly
which is rapidly getting filled with hundreds of ideas and am having
a most marvellous time desiging, creating and experimenting. I was
recommended to your website by one of the guys at AJS and it is now
setup as my home page. It was a relief to know that I I’m not the
only one with such an obsession for metal and I find your website an
endless source of help and inspiration and look forward to sharing
more over the coming months as my designs/ideas start to take shape.
