Sunday, January 12, 2025
1:00-3:00PM
Our first meet-up for 2025 is at Windgate Arts Complex, the brand new metals studio at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), Ypsilanti, MI on Sunday, January 12, from 1:00-3:00. The jewelry department shares space with the sculpture department in this light-filled, modern facility that you will definitely want to see. As per our standards, the Meet-Up will cover brief introductions, a short tour of the jewelry studio, and time for networking and sharing:
Show off new creations; tell us how it was made
Share what we’re working on - successes/challenges/frustrations
Get feedback from fellow metalsmiths
Discuss new techniques, resources and upcoming events
You will need to pay for parking on arrival, but on the bright side, its only 20 feet from the studio entrance -not bad for cold January days. Be sure to have your phone with you, as payment is all done via your phone.
Start the year off right, and attend a meeting of your peers. It’s a great opportunity to meet like-minded metals aficionados and to see familiar faces, so grab a friend or two and stop on by.
Light snacks will be provided, and you are also welcome to bring your own snacks.
Plans are in the works to have our March Meet Up at CCS in Detroit; look forward to more information on that meeting in February. Also, we are always looking for venues throughout the state, and we welcome your suggestions. Please let us know if you have any ideas.
