[Jewelry making - Article 00084] - [Orchid] [NC] Possible intern/apprentice position

[Ken Weston Studio]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    After 37 years of going it mostly alone, I am exploring taking on an
    apprentice/ intern/ employee. 

    My motivation is twofold. 

    Firstly, as I mature as a craftsman, I am realizing that I have a
    lot to pass on in terms of practical experience and shop skills. 

    Secondly, I am finding myself wanting to hand over certain skilled
    tasks to a second pair of hands and eyes in order to free mine up for
    design and development. 

    This person will need to have a solid beginning working knowledge of
    bench skills, tools and processes ( 5 or more years out of school and
    some working experience as a bench jeweler or similar situation), as
    well as keyboarding and the ability to think independently. 

    Currently I am developing a line of engraved platinum and diamond
    jewelry, based on a collection of designs which evolved during my art
    show period, back in the '70s. My studio is located in the woods of
    North Carolina, near Durham. 

    Please contact me off list at Studio AT kenweston.com . 

Peace,
Ken Weston
