Hello James,

    I was thinking about your local adult education office requiring
    academic credentials, and how many of us on Orchid would be thrilled
    to have the opportunity to learn from your years of experience. I was
    wondering if you have considered teaching at some of the
    jewelry-specific schools that give 3 to 5 day workshops on specific
    techniques like the Revere Academy, Metalwerx or the New Approach
    school, instead of a general purpose school. I thought you might be
    familiar with these schools, even though they are here in the US,
    because of having read about them on Orchid (if not, they all have
    websites). Are there such places in the UK? They would have distinct
    advantages for you in your present situation: academic credentials
    don't matter a whit, they provide a targeted audience who is familiar
    with and admires your skills and, possibly, they pay better (at
    least, they should - master classes as yours would be are very
    expensive classes to take!). 

    The disadvantage is that, at the onset, it would be more work to set
    up a concise curriculum and exercises and I don't know if this is
    what you had in mind. I just wanted to mention an alternative that
    could be a pleasant diversion for you and a great learning experience
    for your fortunate students. 

Regards,
Linda Walsh
