At present I am finishing my last semester of a BA in Justice
Studies at the University of Regina. I have some limited experience
in jewellery, specifically in chainmail. I also have some experience
with pewter casting, fine silver wire weaving, and amber carving. I
just purchased a variety of tools from Rio Grande (including a
Foredom and a soldering kit) and am very much looking to get into
basic silversmithing. I have read a fair bit on the subject, and am
hoping to take a introductory course in silversmithing, but it is
not being offered this semester.
I am hoping I can both gain from and contribute to the community
here; but it will probably be a while before I can contribute much.

I am an empty nester that needed a career change, so I turned back
to jewelry making after an 18 year “hiatus”. I am Senior Certified
for Art Clay, and am currently taking metal smithing classes to add
to my skills. I absolutely LOVE working with silver and gems! When I
grow up I want to be a jewelry designer!

Hi, I have been making jewelry for about six years, starting with
stringing and up to wire wrapping. Recently retired and took a cold
connections class with Kim St. Jean at William Holland in order to
expand my skills. Now addicted to torching and fold forming and
looking to gain more knowledge a nd move on to do more. Hope I can
add
something once in awhile but probably will just lurk for awhile
until I know a thing or three. Brenda Riverview FL

I am a total newby to jewelry design & creation. The last time I
made any great amount of jewelry was in a silversmithing class in
high school (many years ago LOL) I am a person who studies to death
a subject and then takes the plunge so I am almost to the point of
the plunge, but am still coming up with questions so keep searching
for answers and in the process find new sources of
Living in a small town in New Hampshire there are not many sources
of study other than beading classes in this area so I am on my own
with the help of the internet and books that are available.
Looking forward to looking around the site and learning from all of
you.
