Lexington, SC. USA
I am a elementary Visual Arts teacher in South Carolina. Making
mixed metals jewelry is an avocation I have too little time for but
work at whenever possible. Recently I’ve been working on weaving
pieces of silver, copper and brass that have been texturized in a
rolling mill. The only problem is I have to use the rolling mill at
the local university Art department. I’m looking for a good used
rolling mill.

I am Cynthia Cameron and I have started a small boutique-style,
limited-production jewelry company. I make spiritually healing works
of wearable art. I use a variety of metals, including fine and
sterling silver, copper, shibuichi, titanium, and brass. I love
color and design, and a variety of materials such as gemstones,
crystals, shells, feathers, pearls and fiber to incorporate with my
work.
I have training in metal-smithing and I am a certified metal clay
artist. My goal is to expand my metal smithing skills to take my
work to another level. I will be working with a master goldsmith and
am looking forward to soaring to new heights. It has taken me over a
year to find someone who could mentor me.
Even though I signed up with Ganoksin previously, I was brand new to
the jewelry industry and didn’t have many skills or a good idea of
the direction I planned on taking. It has been the most exciting
journey of my life and I plan to continue learning and growing for
at least the next 20 or 30 years, which is saying something, since I
had a 33 year career as a banker in my first career. I love this
group and have learned many things. I hope to be a able to pass on
my knowledge someday to this group as all of the generous people on
this group now do.

Nick Johnson
Hull, UK
Trying to make a return to jewellery making but full time work and
moving all over makes this a bit difficult.
I’ve no longer got a workshop and will be doing work that requires
less heating for safety reasons. So looking more into mechanical
joints and connections. So hopefully some interesting works in the
pipe line.
