🚨Today I’m super excited to introduce my new series: SOCIETY CHAT. This biweekly video series will feature my 15 minute interviews with inspiring jewelers and teachers. Really excited to share my first interview with Kendria Thompson of @solidtreasures and @metalsmithsforchange and here is her tip for bending metal - “After investing in a @pepetools_usa ring bender, I haven’t gone back to shaping circles or rings on a ring mandrel. It bends my 4 gauge half-round effortlessly, and creates perfectly rounded shapes every time.

Don’t let the name “ring” bender fool you, either. There are many reasons to utilize the ring bender. In this video, you’ll see me using the ring bender to shape a pair of Fern Hoop Earrings, one of my most loved treasures!” Great tip and tool! Thank you for your time Kendria! Everyone head over to my other post today to listen to the 15 minute interview with Kendria. She shared her light box as well so I’ve included a pic of that too. If you have any additional questions for her please comment below and you can also let me know who else you’d like me to interview! Next up I will share my interview with @emilieshapirojewelry 😃#metalsmithsocietychat
