Studiomates are not just jewelry-makers who toil away in that large, intriguing room on the other half of the building. They act as Metalwerx ambassadors, promoting the school to the general public and assisting visiting instructors. Studiomates volunteer to help with the numerous chores that make the school run more smoothly. Currently, all benches are occupied. There is a waiting list for those who wish to be considered when a bench becomes available.<\/p>\n

\n\t $\"Rings,$ <\/a>\n\t

You don\u2019t have to be a Studiomate to volunteer. There are plenty of chores that could benefit from an extra pair of hands, such as periodic tool care, studio clean-up, taking inventory of equipment and supplies, etc. Volunteers can earn credit towards workshops and classes for the time expended. Ask Lindsay Minihan, our indefatigable director, about how you can earn \u201cWerxbux.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t $\"Gold$ <\/a>\n\t

Gold and Agate necklace, Wendy Jo New<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Studiomates conduct a jewelry sale at the school twice a year, just in time for the Holiday Season and Mother\u2019s Day. As it is not a school-sponsored event, the cost of publicity and printing posters and postcards is entirely borne by them.<\/p>\n

\n\t $\"Snowflakes,$ <\/a>\n\t

Snowflakes, crocheted fine silver, Yleana Martinez<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Get there early to see the best selection. As usual, we will have snacks available, and there is plenty of parking. For more information, or to learn about Metalwerx’ winter classes and workshop, go to www.metalwerx.com<\/a><\/p>\n
