    Sojourner, dump that class. You don't need the aggravation. Save your
    money to attend a long weekend class (or a vacation week for a longer
    one) at one of the great short courses available at art centers
    around the country. Let us know in what area of the country you live
    -- people may have specific places to suggest. If you can travel,
    there've been lots of evaluations of sites from around the country,
    and teachers, which are available in the Orchid Archives. 

    If you are a reader, just get books (library; Interlibrary Loan) on
    jewelrymaking, read them and do your own experimenting. That's what I
    did, after taking one BOCES course in 1979. It's not as "groupy" as a
    class, but it sounds to me like your college class has people but no
    helpfulness. Stick with Orchid! Us middle-aged and overweight women
    can help each other on-line! 

    If you want specific advice, I'll  be glad to offer you what I know
    (if I know anything in that area). 

All the best,
Judy Bjorkman
