Hello, My name is Sue Hofer and I live in the Flint, Michigan area. I am currently a part time student at Kendall College of Art and Design studying a couple of jewelers classes. I am 53 years old, single, and looking to apprentice full time with a jeweler here in Michigan. I have had a little training ie. one week course at Connors Jewelry School in Indianna about two years ago, and one semester at Kendall taking two classes (one a metals class making objects of various designs, some jewelry some not; the other a genuine jewelers class doing more fabrication, sizing rings, piercing etc.). I am willing to start out doing the "grunt" work ie. polishing, cleaning castings, etc. I can do basic soldering, filing, polishing, and know how to use the Flexshaft. Also, I just finished carving my first wax model (a ring)and it gets cast today! Also, I am a faceter and am willing to repair gemstones. I really need work to sustain myself, and am interested in any offers. I appreciate your time and any input that you may have and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Suzanne Hofer
