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.
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.

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!!!
