Dear Ms. M Mac, 

    I understand the difficulty of finding the time to take classes and
    workshops, however, you will save yourself a lot of time and
    frustration by doing so. 

    It's very difficult to learn soldering and other techniques on your
    own. And I simply can't see learning goldsmithing online! 

    Finding a master to apprentice with is the traditional and probably
    best way to learn goldsmithing. I apprenticed with my father, taught
    myself many techniques and took classes at various schools. 

    One alternative is how-to videos. They can be very helpful. 

    But nothing is better than an in person demonstration and patient
    guidance from a good teacher. 

    Many of my 5 Day Workshop students spend their vacation time at my
    school. After which, they can start building up a home studio. It
    doesn't take that many tools to get started. Add more tools little by
    little. I'm still buying tools. 

    Don't put obstacles in your way! Good luck.
