I have been doing more exploring than creating these days but my studio and gift haus have had a few overhauls. Today I am showing you some of what inspires me in San Antonio and the three small cities within that I have come to love.

Today a shout out I to Joyeux and a couple of things I picked up, a cloche for display and a cute plant sprintzer.

New beginner benchtop Welding classes are swirling in my head. Melissa Muir was an instructor for an hour class I attended yesterday. She is always full of great info, thanks Melissa!

I have spent LOTS of time reorganizing my business model and adding a couple of exciting products!
I am at a PJX, Permanent Jewelry Expo, in Vegas and happy to be part of this growing extension to my Artisan Specialty Shop, Always Linked.
Also, metalsmithing classes will be back in Summer 2023 with a lineup of new techniques and tools to experience. Have you been looking at using a welder in your jewelry making? We have 5 Orions that will be used in some of our new classes.

I ran into one of my favorite people in the Metalsmithing world, Corkie, The founder of The Metalsmith Society.

This space and the adjoining space are coming together at a snails pace but the end result will be perfect for small classes or studio time. What new skills would you like to learn? Old skills that need practice?
