I began making beaded jewelry in 1998. I've always had an interest in making metal jewelry though, so I took several classes in Boulder Colorado several years ago and a class in Taos New Mexico. I quit making the beaded jewelry and have been concentrating on making metal jewelry for the past six years. My husband and I own and run a winery full time, but recently I have been spending more time making jewelry and trying to get into the wholesale market.; http://www.cuthills.com
