I'd definitely do a course, it's so expensive that I couldn't afford to just play with it and experiment too much. I do the fingerprint jewellery around Christmas time but find it quite difficult to work with generally and prefer normal silversmithing (you can take your time a bit more as if silver clay dries out you can come a bit unstuck). But I'm constantly impressed by stuff other people have made! Good luck
