RE: Metalsmithing Class No.4

in #art6 years ago

I think I mentioned I played a bit in metal jewelry but it was with PMC as I was able to sculpt a bit more and then fire it hard, it was cool. Good luck I've always loved jewelry, it's an amazing trade and craft and art.

I once got to go on a private tour in the city of London of the Goldsmiths halls (they have all the halls of all the crafts guild in the City since forever) and I saw some amazing silver and gold things, jewelry, cups , plate you name it. We weren't allowed to photograph inside but it was like a palace all marble and gilt. There was even a board room with all these ancient paintings on the walls, it was like some secret place, really wonderful day out.

Good luck.

Oh that sounds so inspiring! Metal art is such an ancient art form... I can't imagine how much more difficult it must've been way back before all the nifty tools we have now! Mad respect for the pioneers!!
