Get ready for great workshops sponsored by SMM in 2010. Members have been surveyed and the results are in. Once we make arrangements with the selected instructors, we will make the announcements. It will be a great year!

Thanks Michael. It is a great compliment to be compared to your work. Thanks for adding me. I will need to figure out how to invite other Crafthaus members to be a friend. I have done it before, I don't know why I can't get it to work now..

Just when you think there is nothing new in metalsmithing - take look at the series by Lynette Andreasen. Scroll down the left side of the main page of Crafthaus and click. Be sure to take alook at all of the images, very original and appealing. M...

SMM member Aimee Domash has added a video, on Crafthaus, of her husband Ken's soon to be released recording, "Countrified" Take a listen, it's really good.

Linda Lankford commented on Lynette Andreasen's photo 'Lock for a Lost Love'

This is an amazing piece! There are days when I think there is noting new in metalsmithing then along comes an artist with something very original. Good job! The entire series is superb.

I do plan on making the blog post here and on my site. I don't know when exactly I'll be posting it. It's a really strange idea I had in my head that I need to think through a bit more... Trying to leave it as mysterious as possible :)
