I have no official degree in any of the areas I work in. But I am an aspiring silversmith and will be going to University to grater develop my skills. I do have an A in advanced higher art wich has given me the skills to think in the way of a designer. With regards to the physical making I am self taught and through my development I have learnt several different Techniques. I am going to describe my understanding of the different concepts I have learnt but these are by no way an accurate procedure of the Absolute correct way of doing it.
