Jewelry's a lot of fun.

Interesting discovery: the classes are about 90% women, which I believe is the reason any critiques are overwhelmingly supportive and personal. There are some people in there making genuinely ugly shit but the culture is one of "bend over backward to find something nice to say" which is not at all the way the 98% male CNC class goes ("dog your own shit as hard as you can before someone else beats you to it").

I'm cognizant of the fact that the watch industry is fundamentally white men making things for white men and while I'm not going to be in a position to do much about that initially, I'm keenly interested in doing something about it long-term.
