The intersection of work and play

Sue has been active in the metal arts community for nearly a decade. This is a world she initially joined as a hobbyist creating small sculpture and jewelry with traditional metalsmithing tools like torch, saws, hammers and anvil. The blog and metal arts gallery pages on this site illustrate those ties, and the lovely intersection of work and play.
