Greetings fellow Metalsmiths!

Q: How do I know if my MASSC membership is current?
A: I know this question is not about making anything, but it is a common question that MASSC receives, so I thought I’d take this month to give a little information about how to check your membership status, update your profile, and some of the changes we’ve recently made to the website, in case you haven’t visited lately (and if you haven’t, shame on you!)

Members Spotlight
I am a formally trained metalsmith. I began my education decades ago in a community college in San Francisco. I was inspired by Roger Baird, my first metals teacher, to attend art school and I attended California College of Arts for my BFA and later California State University Long Beach for my MFA. I have always loved the technical aspects of metal working and I find it challenging to create successful pieces. It’s a happy surprise when I make something I like.
I work from my studio/home in Pasadena, and I am a professor emeritus at Pasadena City College where I taught (jewelry, crafts & 3D-design) for 33years. When I retired 5 years ago from academia, my husband built a studio that could accommodate 8 students comfortably. I have taught numerous workshops and classes here, as well as hosted visiting artists.
