Metalwerx's monthly virtual show and tell is a great place to share what you've been up to, meet up with old friends and make new ones! Do you have pieces you've been working on? Need design or technique advice? Have you found a new tool you love? Share with us!
New to 2021, this Wear & Share will feature metalsmith, maker and educator Munya Avigail Upin who will share with us some of her work and a studio tip! Learn more about Munya here and read about her upcoming online workshop with Metalwerx, Knitted Chain. 
Each week we include a jewelry or metals themed song in our newsletter. We've put all the songs together in a Spotify playlist for you!
