I got in on the full time course, even though she has full qouta (there is one no show, but if she turns up she will have 19 instead of 18) I am very excited and a little apprehensive :-)

Well done. How exciting. Can I ask where it is? I think you're quite local to me :-)

It's at Northenden, but classed as City college Manchester, they also have a part time evening course, and one that is about restoring jewellery and I can't remember what else as it wasn't the one I was interested in. I also found day silversmithing courses at The Potters Barn Cheshire, £110 for a day including lunch, hope this info is of use to you :-)

I did the pmc introduction day course and it's great, it gives you the confidence to go home and have a go with it, I'm quite pleased (only a couple went wrong) with the pmc rings and pendants I've made since the course

That sound great, I'm definitely hoping for it to give me a bit more confidence!! I looked at the Manchester City courses and they all look brilliant!! You're so lucky to be going on one, definitely let us know what it's like. When do you start?

Hi
I've done two days at college so far and am loving it, made a key ring and been practising with the piercing saw, it's an early start and quite a shock to the system for me, came home and went almost straight to bed after first day, but am still awake today
