    I teach adults in an art center. I start by teaching basics
    including a bit of forging. I do this in copper so the students won't
    get hung up on the price of metal. After that, I teach techniques as
    needed by their designs. I marvel at the variety of styles that I see
    develop. I see no copies. It may well be different with college age
    students who have not yet developed their own styles of dress and
    decorating a home. Life experiences do make a difference.
