Greetings!
Spring is here and creativity sprouts alongside the cherry blossoms. I hope that the weather warms up your muse and brings fabulous new designs to mind. This edition of the newsletter presents a great student show opportunity, some new terms and a great new book review!

New Tools!
I try
to add at least one new tool to the SilverWorks studio every month, and
I am not talking about hammers and files. March gave us a new Bench
Shear which cuts through up to 10 gauge sheet like it was butter. No more sawing straight lines in heavy sheet. And
although that is the new big boy on the bench, I think there will be
more sighs of content with the new torch lighter which retires that icky
striker. Just turn on the torch and tap the tip
on this miraculous gismo and it creates the spark that lights the torch. Keeps your
hands free, saves gas, and time!
