Mike Shuler
Clearwater, FL. USA

I’m in my 24th year as a firefighter, and would like to use the next
6 years to develop my next career. I’m an avid metal detectorist,
which has really enhanced my interest in jewelry. I hope to spend
the next year reading books and forums before investing thousands to
train as a bench jeweler at a trade school!

Mary Thomas Davenport
Houston, TX. USA

I have taken classes in metalsmithing and enameling in Houston since
the 90’s. Some health issues prevented me from working for several
years.

I took some workshops recently and am happy to be playing in the
studio again.

I love art and crafting! Most time is devoted to Jewelery (beading,
wire wrapping, and metalsmithing) and painting…pretty much
anything I can get my hands on. :slight_smile: I love to learn and share with
others

Jonathan Simons

I’ve been in the jewelry trade since 1979 and have been lead jeweler
and production manager all throughout my career. I’ve taken a few
alternate career paths along the way such as working with computers
and networks but always find my way back to the creative arts.
