the season for reunions! my recent move back to PA from NC has connected me with many friends from the past. sharing my studio for a day with sarah donegan was a blast. the edinboro university alumni metals show opening (beyond studio 9) brought a group of metalsmiths together this past wednesday for discussion, laughter and some rockin' metalwork. i look forward to more time with familiar faces and places.
