INTERVIEW
by Vicki Mason

Brooklyn Metal Works, in New York, and WALKA Jewelry School, in Chile, are hubs of sorts, bringing jewelers together to learn new skills, show work, and support one another. As such, they’re important members of our jewelry community. In this interview, the founders of both businesses—who are all friends—talk about how they came into being, what they do, and how they do it, revealing similarities and differences in their teaching practices and how they run their respective organizations.
