Hiya,
Does anyone know of any other places that offer beginner jewellery/silversmith classes?
Email me sfulford1979@hotmail.com
Thanks :)

Hi there. I've actually taken a few of these classes and now have loads of fun making my own jewellery--rings, bracelets, necklaces. You learn the basics and then are free to make whatever projects you feel inspired to create. The class sizes are small, so you have lots of opportunity to ask questions, see demos, or just get great general guidance. A fantastic place to learn working with silver. It was easier than I thought! (and I never thought I was good at making anything before--seriously)
BTW, I'm new to this site and am finding it a great resource!
