"Can anyone learn to make jewelry or do you need to be an artist?

Nanz Aalund: Jewelry has been around since 70,000 BC, that is how important jewelry is to human beings and human culture. The great thing about jewelry making is the more you learn about the craft, the more you can truly express your own identity. Self-expression and expression of identity are valid art forms. So, yes everyone can make jewelry"

Took a class from Nanz mid-december 2009
