archival notes: The FBF MA Metal Dinner™️

Not a traditional dinner.
A shared table where our Atelier’s legacy is passed family-style.

Metal tools replace silverware—
an ode to the patience of handwork.

White gloves on,
metal in the palms,
touch becomes intention,
intention becomes form.

The table exhales: soft clinks, low voices, warm light.

Strangers become collaborators.
The secret language of metal unfolds through conversation and process.

By the end, something small lives in your hands—
metal shaped by touch, time, and attention.

The FBF MA Metal Dinner—
where craft becomes communal.

archive notes: On Friday, October 10, we gathered w/ our kin, close friends & AU cousins to celebrate the opening of the FBF Metal Atelier Installation at our beloved Aunts et Uncles cafe in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The room was filled with sooo much love, the secret menu featured a “Lime Ricky” signature drink- named after our Lead Metal Artisan’s father (the OG Iron Man), kids of our kin discovered the metal art in real time w/ curious eyes, sneakers were adorned with metal embellishments & a warm fire blazed on the AU Patio to keep the folks outside cozy. 🖤

Blessingss to everyone who came/contributed to such a memorable night of metal artistry & community.
