  2. Eliakim Mizrahi Says:

    fantastic CV. I need your help. After having done sculpture as a hobby for some years (see website) I wish to learn silversmithing. I am trying to find a short course at an institution or a teacher where I can learn the art of silversmithing. All I come up with are full time 3 year courses. I would greatly appreciate your help in this matter.
    Regards.
    Dr E Mizrahi
