There are thousands of other places for finding workshop students . . . these are just a few of the easiest ones for you to locate.

Keep your eyes open and be creative, and you’ll begin to find jewelry workshop students everywhere! And once you get started, ask your students and everyone else you know for suggestions on other groups who would be interested in a workshop.
