    How I wish you were in my area, James. I had the opposite
    experience. I work full-time at my own business and wanted to
    increase my own jewelry skills by taking some formal classes. I took
    one class at Revere, and loved it, but San Francisco is not exactly
    close to St Paul, Minnesota. So I looked for classes closer to home.
    I found a jewelry techniques course at one of my local colleges. But
    apparently they have a problem understanding someone who just wants
    to attend courses as a working adult - i.e., not full-time. I was
    turned down for the program - not told that I was turned down, but
    just not accepted for the program even though I have all of the
    necessary credentials for the coursework and college admittance. I
    guess I'm really annoyed by the lack of understanding of the college
    and its program head (who is a member of the Ganoksin body of
    readers), and I'll just continue to save up and take classes at
    Revere and New School and Metalwerx when I can afford them. I would
    love to take courses - any courses, from you. As a craftsperson, the
    quality of your creations are my personal achievement goals.
