Dear Orchidians,

    After reading all the interesting answers to "jewelers former lives"
    I noticed quit a few said they had taken a class or were exposed to
    jewelry classes in high school. As I teach high school art and am
    usually able in each school I work in to set up a jewelry section in
    my program I am always interested in what you were taught. How was 
the
    jewelry taught? How much equipment was there? I am starting over
    again here in Dhaka and setting up jewelry making in this new school
    and am always looking for new ways to get set up and ways to get kids
    excited about metals. By the way are there any high schools left in
    the U.S. who still include jewelry making in their art curriculum? 

    I hear ceramics has fallen by the way side so assume the same is
    happening to art metals. Sad for the future. 

Sharron, in Dhaka, setting up new jewelry classes, again.
