[Jewelry making - Article 00525] - [Orchid] Jewelry design - what & where to learn

    An earlier discussion by Indika, an engineer getting started in the
    jewelry business, really struck a chord with me. I too, am an
    engineer, doing after-hours work in a home studio. I've never had
    aesthetic design classes, and I feel it shows in my work. 

    What advice would the forum give to people who want to be more than
    just a technician, soldering part A to part B? As much as I would
    love to run away for 6 months to Alan Revere's academy, it ain't
    gonna happen... I either learn here at home, or not at all.
    Engineering is paying the bills, and there's that love-hate
    relationship with my mortgage. 

Thanks,
Kelley
