Hello all!  

    I came back from the Clasp conference so inspired by the people I met
    and the conversations that I had. I am planning on driving around the
    country this winter to establish store accounts, explore gem mines,
    caves, hot springs and.....research industrial processes that have
    application to the jewelry industry and meet with/interview jewelers
    in their studios, working with video and writing. I am pitching the
    concept to magazines and trade groups. I realized that there is alot
    of new technology out there that I have no clue about since I was
    trained very traditionally 20 years ago so I am going to self educate
    by seeing the processes in action as I don't understand as well by
    just reading about them. I have talked to alot of people since and
    there seems to be a market for the edited information at the end of
    my journey as a video or presentation at some trade conferences. I am
    talking processes like the powder enameling of the big trucks at the
    Peterbilt factory, waterjet cutting in the aerospace industry, powder
    metal depositing at the San Di National Labs..... 

    if anyone has ideas of places for me to go or people for me to
    interview please email me.
