Hello to everyone, will use my dog's name 'Bruggen' as Steve was already taken. I am new to jewellery making and new to forums, will tend to listen alot because I have so much to learn, though I was an engineer and instructed for a few years and very much believe knowledge is for sharing. Just spent 30 years in the RAF and now want to do something completely different, been painting and sculpting for many years but only as a hobby

Hi Steve and welcome.

Hey, all knowledge is transferrable, you know - you'll have lots to teach us, I bet!

Steve and pats for Bruggen, what kind of dog is he!
do chip in, even if you don't know techniques just telling us your opinion is worth its weight in gold

Look forward to hearing more from you and seeing your work.
And a big thank you for your work protecting our country in the RAF!

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum.
I'm a complete novice too. I'm in the throws of trying to set up a workspace so that I can at least do a little silver work and silver clay.
I make lampwork beads but want to take it a step further.
Would love to see what you have been doing/ are going to do!
