I've joined the forum today and look forward to catching up on all the new things in the jewellery world that I've not tried or weren't available when I last made pieces.
Hello to everyone.

Hello and welcome. When did you last make pieces? What kind of pieces? Sorry, we're a nosey bunch.

Thanks for the hello. My main area of interest has always been Celtic patterns and piercing.
I started at 16 on a YTS course in the late 70's with a self-taught jewellery maker.
Opened my own shop from1983-91.
I had a break and had my 2 sons but also made a few pieces for a friend who had a gift shop late, 90's-2001.
My son has shown an interest in learning so I've decided to start again properly. I really needed to start making things again and didn't realise quite how much I'd missed it.

Hello and welcome to the forum, not been long here myself but have found it a helpful and friendly place. Bit of a fan of Celtic designs myself and hope to integrate them when I get good enough with the saw.

I'd be pleased to put up some pictures, just not sure how to.

There are two ways, but you need to have reached a certain number of posts first (an anti-spam measure) and I can't remember the number of posts - might be 5 so you may just have reached it. When entering a post there is an "insert image" icon about 4 from the right - then pick your picture up from your PC.
