Additional Work Info you would like to share: In the summer of 08 I founded the Metalsmiths Unite! facebook group- with a desire to facilitate connections within the metalsmithing world on facebook-
The group has grown bigger than I had even imagined, and we now have a great range of talents and metals people- from hobbiests and gallerists to blacksmiths and goldsmiths.
Metalsmiths Unite is a place to go and meet other smiths, share images/videos, discuss ideas, ask questions, and post workshop/teaching schedules.
Are you on Facebook? Come and join the group!
