SilverWorks Studio and Gallery

Exnihilo has been busy the past few months, as was covered on July 2, 2016 in The Guardian (Nassau). Click the image below for a larger version of the article.

We had a fantastic day here in Nassau giving our first international workshop for Exnihilo. The class filled up and many wonderful things were created by the workshoppers.

Exnihilo hosted its first workshop in Nassau this Sunday, March 20. I transplanted my Silver Saturday from SilverWorks and presented it to a full class of new students.

Exnihilo International Artist Residency is pleased to present Ex Post Facto Metallicus, a unique collection of works from four metal artists at four different life stages – Robert Dane Shaw, Anya Pinchuk, Heather Schramm, and Kai

Bryan and I attended the unveiling of Wendy Ross' newest work "Flora" in Baltimore's Hopkins Plaza. I was fortunate to get to know Wendy when she took one of my classes at SilverWorks.

Attended a WPA (Washington Project for the Arts) meeting at American University last night. The panel discussion was about artist residencies programs.

My little silversmithing studio continues to surprise me. Adding this little stepping stone in the journey toward Exnihilo, who would have thought that it would contribute so much to the plan. And I never would have imagined the growth.

Best laid plans can sometime seem like they have gone awry when direction shifts due to outside circumstances (like the economy). But sometimes this is actually an opportunity in disguise.
