Scrounge

Scrounging for materials and tools is a central part of my studio practice, and there are great bargains to be found!  In the past year, I’ve purchased a nice amount of silver for about $2/ounce, received several pounds of enamels, and refurbished hundreds of rusty chasing tools.  Luck has a lot of influence, and the generosity of donors cannot be understated, but there are also strategies involved to help make oneself luckier as well.

Hello Gene.  Great to see your work on crafthaus.  I hope this finds you doing well.

I took a workshop with you when you visited University of Arizona in the early 80's on mokume-gane. so glad to find you here!
I just came back from visiting my daughter in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island.
Would love to visit for a cup of coffee when I come back next time.

Hi Gene! I am so happy that you found me on crafthaus. I do hope that you are well. It is so nice to see so much of your beautiful work that I have never see before. You are really being productive. I have gone to Hawaii almost twice every year as I now have two sisters live on Maui and a brother living on Oahu. I will get your contact info from Nicole and send you an email. Would love to catch up. Love Randy

Hello Gene. Interesting enough you were the only person I ever took a class in metals with. It was a Summer workshop at Skidmore in metal inlay. What work that was. Learned a lot about patients. LOL! Nice to see you here Gene.

Hi Gene,

I went to Wayne State University with your niece. She once mentioned that you have your own recipe for making pitch.

Would you be willing to share it, I would love to make my own.

Call for artists....

"Behind the Brooch"

I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
