We had our friend Caren visiting over the weekend. It provided another of those opportunities to have fun with metal. Fiona was keen to join with Caren in hammering a bowl and making a brooch.
We started from scratch - a piece of metal cut from a small silver-plated tray.
Great apprentices - I demonstrated various techniques and tools and Fiona and Caren went down their own paths.

So two more metal women.
That last photo is just wonderful, Barry! What a great day you must have had with two such talented women. Bowls and brooches are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi C - I think this is one of the beautiful things about having a studio - the ability to share and have art play. And you are so right - great outcomes. Cheers. B
