Altana,

    There are some other choices which I would highly recommend. 

    1) Revere Academy. You will get the education you need in a small
    class room with personal service. They have a program there that
    might work for you. www.revereacademy.com 

    2) New Approach School. Also an excellent program for those who want
    experience with metal and to leap forward with your designs.
    www.newapproachschool.com 

    3) North Bennett Street School in Boston, MA They have a 15 month
    program designed to teach you all phases of becoming a bench jeweler.
    www.nbs.org 

    4) Metalwerx Short intensive workshops designed to get you started.
    We offer a five day summer workshop in Beginning Jewelry.
    www.metalwerx.com 

    5) Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. 

    Look up Ganoksin's Industry Trade Index under Education. You should
    find a large selection of schools listed there. 

    I attended Adult Education for four years and then applied to the
    Massachusetts College of Art and graduated in 1997. 

    I think to be successful in this industry it requires 20 percent
    talent and 80 percent hard work. 

Good luck!
