Jewelry Making Tutorials by Robyn Hawk



I was asked for some tutorials, by a couple ladies in my Jewelry Making Class and thought I would share the info....

First - if you want to learn it there is probably a tutorial online for it - Google is your friend!

Two places I look to for metalsmithing info are Ganoksin (http://ganoksin.com/) and YouTube (http://youtube.com/)! Simply put the technique or term you are looking for in the search window.

Here is a small sample of interesting tutorials:
