Hey there! I'm Corkie, Founder of metalsmith society

I am a jeweler, educator, author, mother and forever student.

In 2018 I had a desire to connect with other jewelers and to share tips and technques with one another. Read more about my journey here.

I have a podcast!

On my podcast I discuss the tips we have shared on the Instagram page, answering questions that arose and suggestions shared by our community.
