Bruce Young
Hand
Crafted Jewellery
Bruce
Young began his craft in New Zealand where he owned a Gallery
selling jewellery, pottery, clothing etc.
Making some leather pieces for stock he found that this was to
slow
and not very rewarding so he turned his talents to jewellery,
instantly
he knew this was his niche and has continued on for twenty years
selling to Galleries in Melbourne - Victoria, Interstate
and at Crafts Markets throughout Australia.
He has
also enjoyed teaching, passing on his knowledge to many students.
Choosing a career with balance and real feeling of creativity is
important to him
and he continues to gain satisfaction when completing each
decorative piece.
