Hi!
Been lurking here a while absorbing all the wonderful information you folks put up. Guess I'd better step out the shadows and say Hi.
I am doing a part time course in silver jewellery but am augmenting that with lots of self teaching. I'm absolutely hooked. I used to work in fabrication/soldering (automotive) years ago and have always loved working with metal. Being off work with health issues I'm using the time to try and gain some sort of mastery over silversmithing. My dream would be to maybe even go on to study and possibly make a (meager) living at it. I'm at the point in life I'd rather earn a low income doing something I love than vast sums doing something I hate.
I have got to the point in my journey where my questions are getting more specific so hence the hello.
I am also having to teach myself to draw so as to enable me to get to grips with design, which is another big learning curve. (Apparently my tablet won't let me attach pictures, but I'll try to get some up sometime).
Anyway, that's me :D
