SilverWorks Lost Wax
newsletter for the emerging silversmith
September, 2011
Greetings!

Fall is in full swing at SilverWorks. Not only are the new classes underway, and we have upgraded the studio, we have also added a few new tools.

Lost Wax Casting comes to SilverWorks!  

I am so grateful to be able to say that the new tools for fall include lost wax casting equipment. This allows me to offer the new class for students to test out this time honored skill as well as the service of casting works beyond the class.

Bring back that book! (pleeez;-)

One of the things that I think makes SilverWorks special is its little library of inspiring books to borrow. Everyone needs a little inspiration now and then. Please share the inspiration with your fellow smithys by returning your books so others have a turn.

If you have been on the fence about setting up a imaginestudio space at home this workshop will help. Stuffed with all sorts of info on tools, safety, and materials I will be presenting a few home friendly options that are sure to get you off the fence. Its a Sunday afternoon well spent. Demonstrations include torch assembly and neutralizing pickle. Learn more... 


Thanks so much for being a part of SilverWorks Studio & Gallery. I hope that my studio continues to inspire. I'll see you in the studio!

Congratulations!

One of SilverWorks smithy's has crossed over into a new identity. SilverWorks congratulates Judy Madden for becoming a grandma on September 17th. Although most of the hard work was accomplished by her daughter-in-law, we applaud her new status in life. Welcome to the world little Ruby!!!
