Ah Perfesser
What an absolutely FINE suggestion. Alas, Di Fucul tyes arise to mucky the option. As you see, our local branch office of The University Of Pennsylvania, Indiana University of Pennsylvania to be precise, pre China Plague, did in fact, offer classes in such endeavors as Stained Glass Breaking . . er . . making, Artful Welding, Glass Blowing and Basket weaving. With I believe, Jewelry making, to include casting Aluminum Ash Trays and Earrings and such.
Current offerings, however, are greatly reduced. You see, IUP as it is known, is known as primarily a "Party School" with "Chugging 101" on offer as well as swell Tailgating Sports . . like Football. The other Football = Soccer, accompanied by Graduate Level Chugging. Most other endeavors normally expected to be on offer have been placed on Hiatus. You know, those pesky STEM subjects to include such mundane (don't confuse with Greatdane) subjects as "English as a First Language).
I, therefore, suspect my education in casting Earrings will be also on Hiatus for the foreseeable future. Plus I'm currently short some scrap Brass. Oh Poo
