Hey Richmond, this could be really great. Check out the campaign to get Google to bring it's 1GB Fiber here. Look at 1Gb for RVA and see how easy it will be for you to help.
Upon occasion I have been known to teach some jewelery classes at The Visual Arts Center in Richmond VA. Check out the class schedual for The Visual Arts Center at www.visarts.org and look up instructors!
I am also open to one-on-one instruction and studio time. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.
