  • "Metalsmiths in Florence was a life altering experience, I renewed my commitment as maker and craftsperson."

    -Roseann Pugliese

  • I learned TONS about alloying, remelting, annealing and soldering gold. I had amazing teachers, an amazing group, and amazing food!"

    -Corkie Bolton, Metalsmiths Society

  • If you, like I was, intimidated about working with gold, this workshop will eliminate all your fears. The only thing to dislike about the experience is that it goes by all too quickly!”

    -Richard Salley
