Hi Everyone,

    I have been a long time reader of this site but have once posted
    once or twice. I feel very lucky to have found this resource. 

    I graduated from school with my BFA in metalsmithing. (my work is up
    in the gallery under Jen Macartney) After telling myself that I would
    never neglect my art work, I find myself a year and half later with
    nothing to show for it. One of my problems is although I have a job,
    I don't make a lot of money. I can't seem to find funding to make the
    initial purchases needed to set up a small jewelry studio. 

    I am looking for a grant opportunity that will provide that initial
    capital to get myself started. I figure if I look for sale or used
    equipment and only get the basics I can do it for under 2,000. I
    already found a cast iron leg old jewelers bench that I cleaned up
    and re-stained. I love it, so much character, even a big burn on top
    to show it been put to good use!). I am itching to make thing does
    any one here have any advice? BTW I live in the Philadelphia area. 

    Thanks you so much and hopefully soon I can we working and
    contributing regularly to this forum. It is my New Year resolution!
    Happy New Year to all! 

Jen
