Basic silversmithing in Fredericton
A five day workshop will be offered at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design from July 6 to 10, 2009. I have taught this course a number of times in Nunavut, Haliburton Ontario and here at NBCCD. Five days will give you the basics for raising a vessel. If you are not a novice but would love to work on an unfinished project, this studio course is for you too.

2013 SNAG Conference in Toronto
The Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) 2013 Conference is officially scheduled to take place in Toronto, Canada in May 2013. The conference will be co-hosted by George Brown College and Harbourfront Centre. The conference co-chairs are Paul McClure, professor at George Brown College, and Melanie Egan, Head of Craft Department at Harbourfront Centre. The specific dates in May 2013 and a specific conference theme have yet to be established.
It is hoped that a variety of organizations, institutions and individuals will volunteer their participation to make this conference
as inclusive, diverse, exciting and original as the Canadian jewellery and metalsmithing community is. Volunteers are needed to organize related exhibitions and events, organize pre-conference workshops, and help with conference planning and implementation.
It has been over twenty five years (Toronto, 1985) since the SNAG conference was held outside the United States. In addition to serving
the entire SNAG membership, the Toronto 2013 conference will provide a platform for promoting Canadian jewellery and metalsmithing to a local, national and international audience.
To express your interest in becoming involved. Please contact Paul McClure at pmcclure@georgebrown.ca or Melanie Egan at rmegan

I am just reconnecting with my past and found you here. Would love to get in touch with you again.
Cheers
Tim
I'm not doing all that much out here, just trying the mountain life thing out, waiting for snow and making jewelry everyday. I finally have a proper studio, and I've been getting lots of work done. The metal prices have been on my side lately so I'm going to try a few new things.
What have you been up to?
Yes I did study under Charles and Dee, wonderful instructors...I learned so much and even though I graduated in 1999 I am still just taking up some of the techniques I learned back then and reintroducing them into my new body of works. Such as foldforming. And I am going to finally dust off my hydraulic press and start some hydraulic die forming.
I was just admiring your work and the scale...I especially love that tea pot!
I will send you a photo of the teaset and of ad. But since I have no camera, I have no photos of myself! I can't seem to add pictures here, so I will email to you!
