Jewelry making is a learnable skill that anyone can access if they wish. Whether it's beading, polymer clay, shrinky dinks or pure platinum, if you've ever thought about becoming a jeweler, take a class! The Society of North American Goldsmiths has a fabulous list of schools, workshops and classes (click on Educational Institutions to open the pdf). Go there, give it a shot, find your inner artisan and if you love it, run with it!
