Want to learn Metalsmithing in Durham, Ontario. Canada

Hello!

I would like to learn how to make sterling silver rings and other
pieces and I am interested in taking a metalsmith type class or
workshop. Just want to give it a try basically. I have a website where
I sell handmade jewelry using beads (i.e. gemstones) and I work with
wire mostly. If anyone knows of somewhere I could go, or even if
someone does this for a living and gives lessons privately.. that
would be good as well.

Thanks!

Jessie

Google "jewelry classes in Ontario, Canada" for a bunch of leads,
although you are a bit off the beate track. Also, check in your area
for lapidary and/or gem clubs; they often have free or minimal-cost
classes in the various lapidary and silversmithing arts.
Blessed be, for sure...

You know, if that was Durham, North Carolina, I know just the place!
