[Jewelry making - Article 00737] - [Orchid] Training in Chicago?

    My fiance and I may be having to move away from Boston for his job
    for at least the next six years. I am a recent Mass Art grad having
    taken some workshops in jewelry design and fabrication at the North
    Bennet Street School and haved loved it and would really like to
    continue my training. If we end up in San Francisco there's the
    Revere Academy, but there's a good chance we might also end up in
    Houston or Chicago. I'm aware of a program at the Glassele school at
    the Houston MFA, but haven't turned up any leads in Chicago. 

    Does anyone out there have any suggestions for how to continue
    learning jewelry design in Chicago? If there aren't any programs per
    se, are there any apprenticeships available? Could I leave him for
    the eight-week intensive at the Revere Academy and head back to
    Chicago with enough knowledge to actually get a job as a bench
    jeweler, while pursuing my own creative efforts in my spare time? Are
    there programs in the Chicagoland area that are commutable? 

Any or all help from the wise sages on this list is
most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tracey Jenkins
