I have writen one small paragraph with the intention of creating some usefull information about the trade I am part of. I will struggle to find citations as I am a practical platinumsmith. I have learnt my trade on the job, 'behind the bench'. Add I learnt my skills at a young age and it is because of the dexterity based skills taught at a young age that I can work in my trade at the level I do. University taught jewellers inevitably have to undergo 10 years of practical training. The occurances of highly skilled university trained jewellers is less then with bench taught, and the degree is most usefull in learning new techniques as the older skills were passed down and require intense hands on knowledge.
