    Hi! I'm new to the list and wow! what a resource. Thanks to all who
    participate! 

    Does anyone have any experience with renting (or bartering)
    workspace from a jewelry store? Such as using space in the back and
    offering repairs in exchange, while also having an outlet to market
    your pieces in the store? 

    A friend of mine is opening a store and is willing to let me set up
    my equipment in the back of her store in exchange for doing sizings,
    repairs, cleaning, etc. I'm a gold/silversmith more as an
    artist/hobbyist and have intentionally stayed away from mainstream
    jewelry stores,(so I know very little about what to expect) however
    this is a direction I see myself going for the future, in the hopes
    that bencho jewelry work can keep me busy between art projects. 

    Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. 

Thanks!
-Barb Baur
