it's such a delight to pass on valuable metalworking skills to the next generation.  here is a gorgeous piece of copper work by my apprentice, also my son, who picks up studio techniques so quickly! he will be studying metalwork and flame working at the New England School of Crafts this summer. please click on etsy for more photos and sale information.
