OPEN TO FIND RESOURCES AND LINKS! When I started making jewelry using metalsmithing technique, I wondered if and when can I start calling myself a METALSMITH? Do I deserve to use that term as a self-taught or maybe it is only for those who finished specific schools and training? Imposter syndrome also kicked in (and still does), despite reaching next skill levels, even after 3 years into the journey, having professional collection of tools and many completed jewelry pieces, often times intricate and difficult. I still struggle and feel self doubt! These thoughts can seriously self sabotage ourselfves as an artist and they don't help. I wanted to chat a little about this issue and doubts, and hopefully help you if you fell this way too! Let's start a conversation in the comments :)
