Greetings to whoever may read this. In my real life my husband and I own and operate a small brewpub and bed and breakfast inn in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. In my mind's life I think about making jewelry. Many years ago I took a couple of semesters of jewelry making in Minneapolis at an area technical school. Then real life took over and my hands went on to making other things. A few years ago my daughter took a course in chain maille. I was the one who ended up hooked. From maille I started to think about actual silversmithing and started taking courses at the Madison Technical College's Metal program. I'm still doing that, I'm am very definitely a beginner, but I'm a studious beginner. I'm looking forward to hearing what other people do and learning from you all. Thanks, Deb; www.brewerycreek.com
