    Since you live so close to San Francisco, have you investigated the
    classes offered by Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts located in San
    Francisco? Ronda Coryell is on staff there and may be teaching a
    granulation class sometime in future. Revere also has a masters
    series and brings in guest instructors from around the country to
    teach their particular specialty, among them- granulation. I wish I
    lived closer to San Francisco so I could take more Revere Academy
    classes. I was privileged to attend Revere Academy East at Wildacres
    in western North Carolina this past fall in conjunction with Florida
    Society of Goldsmiths (FSG)... What a treat to work with such a great
    staff. Ronda taught two different classes in granulation. The work
    the students produced in her class was incredible. There are probably
    many granulation classes given at some of the Arts Centers or
    sponsored by various metal arts societies in California. Check with
    your local metal arts society to see what is being offered by that
    organization. If you are not already a member of a local metals
    organization it pays to join. These are people of like ilk and would
    welcome someone interested in learning more. You might also try FSG
    fsg4u.com to check out the schedule for upcoming events and maybe
    there will be a granulation class that you can arrange to attend.
    The FSG classes, however, are held on the east coast but definitely
    worth the travel.
