Hi folks,

I first registered here many years ago under the username ‘SilverPlayer’ but haven’t posted anything in a very long time. I lost my password, changed my ISP, old email address is now defunct, hence I’ve had to re-register. However, I do follow the forum everyday and have picked up many a good tip from you talented folk.


During the day, I’m a web developer/test engineer. In my free time, I work mostly in silver metal clay but also work in Sterling silver, in particular chainmaille and have been doing so for around 4 years. I am a fervent advocate of Kate McKinnon’s techniques using silver metal clay and suggest anyone seriously contemplating using this medium to invest in her Sculptural Metal Clay Jewelry: Techniques and Explorations.


Together with more metal clay work, I am working at improving my silversmithing skills and also in time, would like to experiment with adding colour to my metal e.g. patinas, vitreous enamels etc.


All in all, I look forward to learning and sharing!


Regards,


V
