Is it hard to learn how to make jewelry?
I had a co-worker who did this and she made earrings for my girls on my wedding day and my bracelet and it came out absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to learn how to do it..but wanted to know if anyone knew it was hard or where you can take classes ??

FIT has jewelry design as a major, but maybe they have a saturday class?

Re: Is it hard to learn how to make jewelry?
It depends, are you talking about metal work, or anything that involves any welding or soldering? My mom is a jeweler and she takes lots of courses on a regular basis to learn new techniques. But to make beaded or simple cold connection jewelry, its easy! You can learn from a book or a kit or some classes.

In HS, I took a jewelry making ARTS class (metal work). We actually melted Gold and Silver into different wax molds (rings, bracelets, pendants, etc.) It was fairly easy. I am actually thinking about getting into it again. I dont remember the techniques. But, i do remember loving it!
