Brenda H says:Love these, your metal work is amazing! I’d love to be able to do some. Did you take classes?

C Strecker says:Brenda – yes I am still taking classes! I will be taking my 7th term of metalsmithing. I’ve learned so much! I’ve done casting, enameling, learned to use rolling mill and the hydraulic press..etc. I also do alot on my own too . Check w/your local community college or bead store for where you can take classes…you will not regret it! Good luck

Brenda H says:Thank you for the encouragement, I’ll check out the college. I only have 1 store, and their idea of metal work or metalsmithing doesn’t come close to what I want. Keep designing, your work is fabulous!
