Hello everyone!
I am so glad I have stumbled on this team! I have many questions and am looking forward to what this community has to offer and what I can give in return!
My metalsmithing career started in 2009 when I took a metals class at my community college. Unfortunately that is all the professional instruction I have received thus far, but I am looking into taking some classes at the William Holland School of Lapidary arts in Georgia this summer.
I came up with some of my designs in class and decided I really wanted to make more of them on my own. So in time, I was able to get the equipment I needed and my etsy shop grew as well as my sales. Just this October, my shop picked up enough that I decided to quit my day job and give the shop everything I could.
Looking foward to being part of this group. : )
