Holy smokes, long time no post. Some folks are great at traveling and posting, this trip, I completely unplugged (does an iphone and forwarding business calls count?!). I've been on the East coast for 5 weeks and am back now, settling in. Thank you, Andrea, for looking for me!
One of the main reasons for my trip back east was a workshop at Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina. It was a two week tableware workshop with Fred Fenster, a man I have wanted to study with for 10 years now. (I will post on him soon- he's incredible). Let me tell you, I am in love with pewter. It is the most underrated metal out there (hence the t-shirt I'm wearing that my classmate made - "Pewter, the other white metal" . Well, just wanted to check in. I have lots to blog on about...
I hope y'all are having a fantastic & creative summer as well. Make some time to work with your talented hands!

Meet Fred Fenster, the master pewtersmith I had the privilege of studying with at Penland School of Crafts, in North Carolina. He has a knack for teaching and telling stories.
