    Hi, I'm Jerry Scavezze, a goldsmith known nationally for anticlastic
    raising. I have been doing the process for 17 years and have studied
    with both Heikki Seppa and Michael Good. My website is
    www.scavezzegoldsmith.com if you would like to look at my work. 

    I would like to present my new jewelry and metals school: The
    Colorado School of Jewelry and Metal Arts. Classes will be held in my
    studio, Jerry Scavezze-Goldsmith, in Salida, CO. Salida is located 3
    hours southwest of Denver, at 7,000 feet high in the Colorado
    Mountains. A great place for a weekend getaway or short vacation. The
    first two classes are not for beginners. Students should have the
    basics of silversmithing down. Sorry for the short notice, yes its
