A thought provoking video and a look at your beatiful city! Your jewellery is incredible!

Wow- what an exciting, thoughtful, and inspiring video! February workshop?! I would love to take part. I live in Washington DC - some of the buildings you show remind me of the grandeur of many of the buildings here in Dc- especially Union station. I just love the whole thing. ❤

Oh I love this bracelet I am definitely going to try this out. You are such an amazing artist I have followed you for years.

Love your work. So creative. If one wanted to start metalsmithing, what supplies would you recommend not including tools. What metals and sizes. Thanks. $25 a month. I think I will head over to check out.

And BTW thanks for the magnet tip , rings my ears every time

Hey there Susan, looking to get on the monthly sub don’t know what Kajabi is ? Help please

"If we like what you do..." Well I for one, LOVE what you do!...Will probably sign up for Unfolding as soon as life stops beating me over the head with fires to put out....and I can finish the IIM class that's already technically ended (still have 2/3 of the projects to practice!) In the mean time, I'm drawing enough inspiration not only from your videos but also from the IM group photos that other students have posted. 🪶🌻🍀🔨⚖🔗🔩🪚🥽🥰

Is the flux the key to getting wire to ball up? I tried it but forgot the flux and melted the SH”” out of my piece hahahaha

Thanks Susan:) I’m digging that nail head idea you just showed us with the pressing the balled up silver into the board or shot plate. Good for thought design wise.

What would you recommend I do when sometime happens to me being to excited about a project im about to start or made an object already but can carry on with it that collection .. might sound strange but i had been overwhelmed a couple of times like this 😢

I’m truly in awe at all the tips that you’re sharing. Really excited to try making the rings!❤

Love your tutorials! I have a question about your solder board, how is it different than a honeycomb boards that I’ve seen?

I love your style of teaching!❤️

Exquisite! Well done. Your work is inspirational.

So inspiring, I enjoy watching your videos so much, making me dare and create, not be afraid not to succeed and just try again. How beautiful you are

My little shed is very damp. I keep tools in a plastic box with a lid and cover other things in plastic and put silica bags in with everything. The magnet trick is cool! I love forging when my arms are working well enough. I made a fab pair of large copper earrings recently. Big diamond shapes that I hammered hundreds of times and then curved in a doming block and made really black with liver of sulphur. They look fantastic! I the UK we called the ‘screens’ tea strainers. I use them in my pickle too.

Permanent marker is great for those (like me) who have color vision deficiencies when annealing silver. Marker burns off at a temp very close to correct annealing temp.

I am finding your videos timely and helpful. Thank you. Kent

Boeshield T9 made by Boeing ( hopefully the doors will not fall off) is a protector for metal.

A shammy is also good for a cover. The shammy keeps the moisture away from rolling mills, dap and dies, etc. Camphor blocks that machinists use to keep their tools nice are good.

I'm in Michigan. Yes its chilly.

Hi Susan! I love your videos! Please help me find the video where you're making jewelry at the beach? I was watching it weeks ago and had to stop part way. Thanks!!

That turned out so pretty!

Thank you Susan! Im getting ready to teach my 2nd and 3rd workshops next week so this was perfect timing as Im trying to really finalize my ideas.

Thank you

Good tips and gathering of great thoughts. 🙂

Cheers!

Thanku for mentoring…and sharing…I am absolutely in love with your perspective….. endless gratitude and love…..You’ve helped me to realign and acknowledge my self worth and to let others see that I care bout my craft, I’ve been dragged down to rock bottom,,,thanks for helping me see that I really deserve to be out of survival mode and rooted in creative mode, I let everyone make me their assistant and asset….rather than rowing and steering my own ship-….im fighting so hard to drag myself up and out of my cloud of survival… and just make….i was stuck and breaking apart ❤u are like the spirit of hope I found …..right at the bottom of the proverbial pandoras box of misery I have only just realised I can let go….thanku I’m listening….

Is there a link to the class?

Do I understand correctly, you're quenching in your flux?

I’ve also learned several things too and enjoyed the process

WAIT!!: NEVER drill, cut into, etc. a shell without wearing a respirator!! This material is poisonous, and make you very sick. Doing this with rocks can be dangerous becausr of arsenic, heavy metals, absetous, etc. Always know what you are cutting, and check the content do you can be careful.

Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and explaining things along the way! Just found your channel and looking forward to watching more.

I love your workshops and designs. I am a member of your Creative Collective You Tube channel. Looking for how to start courses online and which one to do first. I am a beginner working with brass and copper but very interested in working with sterling silver.

You are such a wonderful teacher and your lovely soul shows in both the way you speak and express yourself in your art. Thank you a million times over and I’m enjoying your Intentional Metalsmithing book. My goal is to learn from you in person.

I hope to one day get to take one of your classes! I need to play more to learn. I'm just beginning!

Just magnificent! 😮

What a gorgeous collection and the presentation is spectacular!

Waiting for your jewelry drop.These pieces are beautiful 🏵

❤

Mesmerizing with this audio...fell into a trance

AMAZING Collection and a stunning photo shoot!

I am confused.. Do you have to cover your piece completely in flux? My silversmith teacher taught us to cover your piece in a boric acid/ alcohol solution. Then, she paints the green flux on only the seam that is being joined. Great video and thank you for all the tips! Im a beginner so apologies if this is a silly question lol

Wow! I learned so much! Thank you. Will certainly checkout your kit.

Omg I have just stumbled across this fabulous channel, I live in Temuka, New Zealand. When do you do your live I have subscribed but as I live at the bottom of this great planet I may need to set an alarm or 4. Love your work

Good Information! I am setting up a studio at this time and trying to collect the necessary tools on a budget.

It’s a scary thing to put your authentic self out there. Susan, I admire you so much for all you have done in your metalsmithing career by staying true to you. For all the younger people out there, don’t hide from fear. Accept yourself (and whatever criticisms come your way) and live your life. This is a lot harder to do later on in life. So go for it, do it, own it, bless it. Thank you Susan for sharing your experiences with us all.

color me blown away as well
