I've always said that once my kids are older I'm going to be the one that gets to go to summer camp. And guess what? I just signed up for the week long Silversmithing class that starts in just 3 weeks at William Holland!!! There are still some openings in that class. Who else wants to go? @melhill1659l?

I am so happy for you! Congratulations!!!! One day, I'd like to go, too. I know you'll have a blast and learn all kinds of new things. I've heard nothing but good things about William Holland.

Dang wish we would have been talking before I booked my William Holland trips!! I'm going the last week in May for Mineral ID, In July for Silver I and August for Cabbing (I'm way out of practice). I can't wait to hear how your class goes! I'm excited for us both 😂

Fantastic! I've been wanting to go there. Trip reports please, both of you! They have wifi so if their cell service is decent I'll post a thread and give updates. fantastic5, Ann who's your teacher? Do you think you'll be able to post while you are there? You know they give you a day to ROCKHOUND!! Now I'm starting to wonder if I can change my class to your dates since they may have spots available... what ya think?

Only a few hours from me, so I'm pretty familiar with collecting sites in the area. It's my usual summer collecting grounds.

I love the school and have been there ( silver, cabochons and opals). My wife and I had a period where we did arts and crafts vacations and this was the catalyst for those trips. She doesn't do rocks or silver so she went to Stained Glass and Carving and maybe beading
The instructors are very very good(who can I remember, Roberts, Mason, Arch Murphree.....if you have a chance and he is teaching that week check out Sandy Cline in Carving outside...a true Canadian curmudgeon).
Wednesday afternoon is free for exploration. You can hook up with a group or go alone to NC mines. If you have a car, there is a real close winery and others not too far, plus interesting towns like Dahlonaga and Helene and State Parks with hiking etc.
Enjoy, make contacts, and become a master craftsperson
