    I can only hope that there are schools that are starting to teach the
    business end of producing art along with design and technique. Some
    times I think the institutions have the mentality that: We did it
    this way and you should too. Craft versus art is a very old debate. I
    was at a weekend metal extravaganza called "Uncommon Smiths" at
    Eastern Michigan university in the early 70's and that was a very hot
    topic. It behooves an art student to get the full spectrum of classes
    if degree is what you want. When I was in college...the 70's the
    technical schools just weren't there and so it was a college degree I
    got (painting major as we did not have a metals major!) With luck and
    determination, I am a jeweler with a patchwork quilt training...a
    little of this and a little of that....if only I could have gone to
    Revere Academy or another at that time!!!! 

Good luck to all of you students. 
Mary
