How do you like to learn? More than half of my career has been writing about jewelry making and other crafting, including many step-by-step tutorials and crafty projects. It was the way I liked to learn, too, so I suppose it came naturally to me. As the internet grew greater and new ways of learning came into being, first video and then online classes and webinars became the way to learn. Most of what I know about metalsmithing, however, I learned in Lexi Erickson’s fabulously appointed studio with her real-life sweet self helping me every step of the way, and I truly love taking classes at Bead Fest and other jewelry events, even when it’s a technique I might already know, just because I want to learn from a particular teacher. So all of this got me to wondering how you like to learn, and that led me to the realization that no matter how you like to learn–print and digital books, video downloads and physical DVDs, online classes and webinars, and live classes&n

Thomas Mann has been making a living as a contemporary American metalsmith and jewelry designer for 48 years, but really learned jewelry making 7 years before becoming a professional in a pivotal high school jewelry semester. Subsequently he became an apprentice with two different professional silversmiths in his hometown of Allentown PA. During the summer of 1968 he opened his first shop in East Stroudsburg in the Pocono Mountains and then a year later opened Solar Wind Silversmiths in Stone Harbor NJ, but he counts the start of his professional career as of his graduation from college in 1970. Since then he has employed over 600 people, 450 of whom were trained to make jewelry in his burgeoning business. Thirty of them are now competing professionals themselves. Additionally he has been teaching his Design for Survival™ – Entrepreneurial Thinking and Tactics for Artists workshops, since its invention for a workshop at Penland School for Craft in North Carolina in 1989, and somewhere in the world every year since, in both long and short forms. He gave this workshop in Hobart, Tasmania in 2015 and again, in 2017 at Penland. Many of the participants in these workshops have then launched their own professional practices based on the experience they had with Tom.
