I am very new to Silversmithing. Trained as a fine artist, who made a living in advertising and publishing forever. Now doing computer animation and dabbling with silver. So far, have made 2 pendants and a ring, and now working on a cuff bracelet. Still take classes, mostly for the comraderie of the talented women and man that attend. Hope to sell pieces one day to feed my silver consumption. Thank you for making this web site available and filling it with so much great information. I especially loved viewing the work benches. Wow! Alis
