I hand-fabricate sterling silver jewelry.
I make every component of a jewelry piece by hand. Any commission work I get goes to the front of my queue. Someone may contact me or come into my studio and request a piece of jewelry. We'll talk about the design and details of the piece. I'll give a price for it and start working on it. If I don't have any commissions, I'm always building pieces for inventory. I think about the next show that's coming up, decide what inventory I want, and then get to work. I also teach classes in the evenings.
Here's the first step for everyone
Find other artists to work with. They don't even have to be using the same mediums that you're interested, but exposing yourself to other artists and their craft is a great way to learn about the art world.
