“Orchid has been like an online apprenticeship for me,” says Brad Smith of West Los Angeles, a retired engineer and Web site designer turned jeweler. “A given class only exposes you to a limited set [of techniques]. Books and workshops give you a wider appreciation, but it is the Orchid forum that has built the depth of my knowledge. Orchid educates me on the finer details of a process, allows me to ask questions (where a book doesn’t), opens up my mind to problems I would never have considered, alerts me to scams and pitfalls, and gives me a sense of community from an otherwise solitary workbench.”
