Seems like as good a time as any to think about metal.</p> <p>Class was really great. The instructor, Jim, provides a safe, comfortable, challenging learning environment. His attitude is that we should explore and experiment as much as possible without worrying about whether we think he thinks we're doing art. If the weld holds, it's good. If we want to buff out the weld mark, fine. If we think having the weld mark is desirable, fine. Right now is about learning the skills that will lead to the craft. It's a terrific feeling of freedom and even the smallest gains feel like great accomplishments.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/ajtivol/2009/09/the_morning_after">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/ajtivol/2009/09/the_morning_after#comment class educated educational metalshop equipment safety Tools Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:21:42 -0500 AJTivol 8792 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/quique/2006/12/new_layout_on_my_personal_web_site <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p align="center"><a href="http://enrique.artmetal.com"><img class="image preview" src="/files/images/UpdateQQweb.preview.jpg" border="0" alt="Blacksmith web site showing metal art" title="Blacksmith web site showing metal art" width="557" height="576" align="bottom" /></a></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> <p>I updated my personal web site this past week to include a blog and podcasting to document some of the more interesting commissions in an educational format to share with visitors of the site and other blacksmiths desiring to learn my approach to metal art.
