Mail Time Monday recap đź’Ś this week I covered:
The limited edition Metalsmith Society Panther Retro Ringer shirts are only available through Thursday, April 30th.
I also talked about @liz_kantner Stay Gold Collective, a great community for professional jewelers who are selling their work, wholesaling into boutiques, selling direct to customers, and building sustainable jewelry businesses.
And I chatted about thermal plastic for work holding. This one is “Set It” made by Renee Ford Metals, and it’s reusable, moldable, and so helpful for securing your work so you can use both hands while stone setting, stamping, or doing whatever tiny, detailed task is currently testing your patience.
If you want a thermoplastic demo leave me a comment!!
