Here is a fun way to connect to other creative minds..............to buy and sell your jewelry wares. You can even connect via Facebook quite easily. I have not checked it out comprehensively but it seems to have possibilities. Social networking and some free publicity. Can't hurt can it? Good luck. Check out the link below.

Metals Fabrication Class at Shake Rag Alley (Mineral Point)

Upcoming class in April at Shake Rag Alley for you to broaden your skills working with metal.  Opportune time to take your skill levels up to learn how to turn a flat piece of silver sheet metal into a dimensional, textured pair of earrings.   Walk away with the knowledge of what tools are needed to set up your basic metalsmithing space.  I will have sample projects to try out but encourage you to create your own designs.  Shake Rag Alley is one of my favorite places to teach at and Cheryl Smeja's studio where we will be is a wonderful place to spend a day.   Go to http://www.shakeragalley.com/ to sign up.
