Newbie on jewellery making
Hello
I'm Filipe I'm from Portugal and living in Northern Ireland for the last 20+ years.
I'm new to jewellery making even though I have been interested in precious metals since I can remember .
My journey started last year, when I developed a back injury which forced me to change my job and made me consider my choices, I do enjoy working with metals, so, I got myself a few tools, cut my first piece of copper and voila i'm hooked.
Have been reading books, watch YouTube's and converted part of a spare room into a jewellery making corner.
I don't consider myself as a creative person and don't pretend to be. My qualifications lies in engineering (fitter/welder fabricator).
I do enjoy the challenges and found the most difficult thing to do is to slow down and create new habits, at the present I'm using mainly copper so developing the techniques won't be to costly.
I do have however to sell my first item, here are some pieces i've made they are far from perfect, but nonetheless.
Thank you!
