Catherine L Rokaw
Littleton, MA. USA

At an age when most are beginning to think about retirement, I’m
getting started on a new career. After several years of nonstop
classes and workshops, I am now beginning to sell my work in
lapidary and stone setting, as well as working in metals (primarily
silver at this point, although I also work in good on a limited
basis). I feel as though I have discovered the wheel and the wagon
that went with it! I joined Ganoksin several years ago and let it
lapse after a run of health issues. I’m glad to be back!

Jennifer Jane Andrews
Swansea, TAS. Australia

I have recently started metalwork using my mother in law’s tools and
left over silver and copper. I have had 3 days of tuition for the
rest I am self taught and struggling. Looking forward to getting
some help from Ganoksin!

After 22 years in the Washington DC area, I’ve just moved back to my
hometown of Honolulu where I first started learning the jeweler’s
trade in high school. I’ve been a custom jeweler for half my life,
and after years of using Ganoksin as a very helpful resource, I’m
finally joining as a member!

Newport, Vermont. USA

I work in mostly silver and copper. Began with wire-wrapping and am
concentrating skills in soldering at present. My work is sold out of
gift shops. I incorporate and locally found stones that I
tumble. Do prong setting by a wire-smithing technique. Planning to
venture into chasing and repousse.
