My name is Courtney Hipp and I've been reading on the forum for some time. I have a background in writing and graphic design but am a work-at-home mom right now, making jewelry and doing some web design and copywriting as time permits. I make mostly strung jewelry at this time. I've learned some metalworking and lampworking techniques, but probably won't use them to greater effect until my two-year-old is in school and I have longer stretches of time to work. I am an unreformed learnaholic. I live in Rock Hill, SC, which is the home of Winthrop University. Winthrop has an excellent art program and I would love to study for an MFA there in the future.; http://www.cghipp.com cgHipp Jewelry Designs
