Would like to learn enameling in all its forms
I would like to learn how to torch fire enamel beads. Just bought the book and hope to try soon.
i would like to learn so much more !
How to use silverclay, enameling, how to use od podge in jewellerymaking, how to work with resin for making b eads and cabochons...
Beautiful! I'm starting the wear out learning all about wire. I have plans for learning DSLR photography and we will see what else may come about
Love these beads! hmmm I have been beading for 48 years and although I know and teach most of the stitches I would like to perfect my Soutache work.

I really want to learn enameling. I also want to continue learning soldering; I manage it in class but really struggle with it at home, sigh.
I too would love to see more on enameling and how to take great photos.
Thx.
enameling and metal clay are on my list for this year.. it's more of getting over a fear of the torch than anything.. love your pieces...
I would like to learn Soutache, as that's one technique I have zero experience in. Not a new technique, but I'd like to get more better (!) at soldering.
I actually signed up for a two month class that starts in a week or so...lost wax casting! I'm so excited. It was offered through our adult education program at a local high school that has a fully outfitted jewelry making lab (through a hefty grant). Jump starting 2013 with some new skills.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! The beads are beautiful. I plan to learn to incorporate beads into some baskets that I'm weaving.
Would love to learn torch enamel & broken china jewelry. Am going to Adorn Me!in Houston & Bead Fest Santa Fe to learn even more things. Don't blog but I "followed" 3 ways: Facebook, Google, & email. Thanks for all the wonderful posts on this site; it's one I check EVERY day!
I would love to learn lost wax casting. Am looking for a teacher in the Santa Cruz area, anyone have any leads?
Thanks for this giveaway!
Happy New Year,
Juliette
I am a bookbinder and I use beads for enclosures. I would like to expand my repertoire of enclosures and learn creative ways to use beading along the way! Thank you for this giveaway opportunity.

Happy New Year! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! This year I'd like to learn additional photography and marketing/networking skills...and as far as jewelry, polymer clay is something that interests me!
I'd like to learn to solder and enameling would be cool too. Tips and tricks using easily found objects and supplies are always great too.
Enameling and soldiering tutorials would be great. :)
I shared on Facebook too.
I would like to learn to solder, torch-fire enamel beads and work with metal clay.

I am new at making Viking knitting and want to know more about the technology, and I would also like to learn to solder, it would be great!
Enameling beads like the ones in your Belle Amoire piece. Those are gorgeous and fit in with a direction my husband and I are headed this year.
The beads you made in your pieces in the Belle Amoire. Love them and the whole feeling.
Those are perfect for a direction my husband I are going this year with his new line. My email is cfick1@me.com
I want to learn enameling this year. I don't have a kiln, but have just bought a book about torch-firing, so I am pretty excited! Pretty please count me in for your awesome giveaway! Thanks!

Happy new year to all!!
Being a "baby" in jewelry making, I am eager to learn everything there is out there :-)
I'd love to start with seed beading, although I admit it intimidates me a little

There is so much I want to learn!! At the moment I am learning to crochet from the internet. I hope to be doing a jewellery making course at evening classes soon :o)
riveting and enameling are at the top of my list this year. I also have a bunch of patinas that I have yet to experiment with.

I have been stringing for many years, but I want to work on doing some decent wire work this year. Practice, practice, practice!
What a great giveaway - would love to win it. I would like to learn fold forming and better my soldering skills(or lack thereof!)
