My process as a Metalsmith and Maker

Metalsmithing: more than a profession, more than a sharing of common tools and technique, an ideology, a way of making, a means of passing on knowledge

Currently, I’m in post thesis mode.  I’ve floundered a bit paralytically thinking: What’s the ‘right’ thing for me to make now? In order to ease this tension, I’ve given myself permission to make things that I simply want to make without any inherent deeper level of meaning.  I’m making to ensure that I continue to make. Above:  I’m replicating two pairs of cufflinks.  It’s very satisfying to make small things again.
