Jewelry School
Q: would like to get into jewelry making as a possible profession
(second career) but don't know where to start.
i have looked into a few schools but it's very difficult to assess
which ones are good or bad.
On the whole, they all seem to be quite costly so I'd like to be sure
I'm not wasting my time or money.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can give me a few insights and advice
regarding schools.
i'm looking for a school that has a broad approach to jewelry
making--art/design, techinique, practical application, etc.
A:It really depends upon what you want to DO in jewelrymaking. For example,
if you want to simply design mass-market jewelry like that found in mall
stores, you might want a more traditional training approach (i.e., degree at
an art school), followed by an apprenticeship in a manufacturing company.
If you want to go the artisan route, start by learning all of the techniques
you can at places like a community college (many offer excellent starter
programs) and then develop your skills further at places like Revere and New
Approach. All the while, be setting up your studio and practicing. An
apprenticeship with an artisan jeweler would be excellent at the same time
you're doing all the rest.
No matter which way you go, you will want to concentrate on PRACTICE and
doing as many apprentice-type activities as you can with mentors. There is
no better way to learn in this business than by doing. Over and over again.
And then some.
