    Sojourner, you didn't mention what area you live in. Here in the
    Dallas/Ft. Worth area, we have a wonderful Arts and Crafts Guild.
    Membership in the Guild isn't that expensive, and you are allowed
    discounted prices for all the classes offered. Classes vary from
    pottery, weaving, glass making/slumping, book binding, to the jewelry
    making arts. It's very diversified. Is there anything similar in your
    area? 

    Another thing to check into is perhaps finding a mentor. Your
    instructor might be a good place to start. Ask if they know of any
    retired jewelers. Sometimes in local boutiques, folks make their
    goods and offer them for sale. If you see a style you especially
    like, find out who the artist is and contact them. The worst they can
    say is no. But you'll never know if you don't ask. 

    I'm so sorry your class turned out to be completely not what you
    needed. 

Best regards,
Betty
