Dear Orchid-folk,

    I'm an intermediate metalsmith, mainly a serious hobbyist, but
    aspiring to develop my jewelry-making skill and artistry to "the next
    level".  I think I can get two months off from my day-job this summer
    and I am looking at where I might go to get an intensive, amazing
    learning experience with really high-level teaching. 

    As a point of reference, I've been to Haystack at least 8 times and,
    while I have always loved it, I think I want something even longer
    than their sessions. I do not have an art school degree.  I've done a
    fair amount of continuing ed. at the Museum School in Boston, and
    workshops in a variety of places. 

    I want something more substantive than the workshops I've done;
    something that would involve more serious creative challenges and
    more serious critique input.  What do people think of this?  Do you
    know of any programs offered in the May-July time-frame that I should
    check out? 

    I am thinking that the particular faculty involved will be an
    important issue in my choice.  Of my various teachers, Lisa Gralnick
    and Susan Kingsley have brought out the best in me.  So, One question
    is, can you think of other comparable teachers to recommend? 

    I welcome any suggestions or advice.  I know each person's path is a
    personal one, with many factors at play, but you may have some
    wisdom of experience that would help me consider my options. 

Thank you!
