Hello there everyone!

I'm Spring, new to the forum and fairly new to making jewellery in a serious way too. I've been making things out of beads and findings for years, but only started silversmithing in February - for Christmas my boyfriend bought me some private tuition with Amy Surman in Oxfordshire, and after 3 hours I was hooked!

Since then I've been buying up all the basic tools on Cookson's site and building up a very small (but growing) workshop in my spare room, bashing out bits of silver sheet when I'm not at work (management consultant by day). I've made a few things and just started a blog to share my progress and projects; so will look forward to speaking to you guys more for tips and getting feedback.

Hope you are all enjoying the fine weather at the moment!
