Just stopped by to say hello before I hit the forums with a question.

Short intro:

I'm in my 30th year of teaching of in the Pittsburgh (PA) Public School District. All but seven of those thirty have been in the Arts the remaining seven were in Biology.

Currently, and for the last 10 years, I've been teaching "Jewelry/Metalry" which is the medium I most enjoy. My plan is to teach 4 or 5 more years before retiring from the public schools after-which I hope to bang uninterupted on copper, steel, whatever.

Now for a question...

Welcome!

I am teaching middle school government in Buckingham Virginia. But hope to move to the high school Votech building to do something with metal arts/trade preparation some day. Depends on funding they say...so it may never happen.

This is a great place to hang out. Lots of veteran smiths and artists in the bunch!
