I failed to write about my course last week. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed it…The teacher is a very talented goldsmith who retired a few years back…after teaching some friends he decided he might as well teach courses within the local community. He has been doing it for about two years ago and is really very interesting. He also knows loads of places within the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.
Anyway…last night was the second instalment of my jewellery course…I found out that I wasn’t very good at soldering but for once instead of wanting to give up this made me all the more determined. All too often in this life it is easier to walk away rather than hold your guns when things get difficult…I have been appalled on a few occasions by how easily I give up at things in life…some times I give up because like a lot of people I cannot cope with criticism…some times I give up because I loose interest when it gets tough…some times I give up just out of laziness! I am determined with jewellery making to stick at it…partly because I love silver jewellery and the idea of being able to make my own really appeals to me….partly because there is possibly room in it for a hobby business…partly because it’s good to get out of the house and do something new.
