Dear Orchadians,

    My husband and I are planning to move to Richmond, VA in August,
    2004.  I have recently decided that I would like to pursue jewelry. 
    I have been doing beaded and wire jewelry for the past 3 years.  I
    do not believe I will be able to work while in VA. I will be on a F2
    visa (dependent); my husband will be on a F1 student visa.  I hope
    to take courses but I am unsure as to whether I'll be able to take
    courses at VCU (part-time).  I would like to develop and discover my
    own style. I am interested in finding out more about bead making
    (lampworking).  I am curious about metalsmithing.  I have found the
    Hand Workshop Art Centre in Richmond and see that they offer
    jewellery/glass workshops.  Do you know any other possibilities?  Do
    you know anything about apprenticeships and what is required?   Any
    other ideas for someone starting out?  I would be available to
    volunteer my time and energy. I appreciate any ideas you can give
    me.

Sincerely,

Sara Smith
