Kriev and I travelled down to Hastings, MN for the Guild of Metalsmiths Fall Conference.
It's a great event, and we participated in the pre-conference class with Gordon Williams,
each creating a "Wine Cellar Stool"
Bob Brown brought his treadle hammer, so I was lucky enough to create my grape vine leaves using it.
We also bought one to bring home! Yay! Once we're home from Toronto, it will be on our list of things complete setting up. :)
