Well it’s been a long time coming, but we are officially up and running. We had an open house last week and did demos of the new equipment, which went prettty well. We are quoting a new hospital sculpture garden in Oklahoma, so hopefully we will begin to take off with our public art installations!

After the fire, Casey was able to go to Wheelwright Mass. and take a class from a master metal shaper named Fay Butler. Casey came back after a week of intense training with a whole new style of metal manipulation. He learned the art of shrinking and stretching metal, using a power hammer, and how to form complex curves. So what is his first creation going to be? A giant bumble bee! We will make a few for the last phase of the UNC hospital job. We are also gearing up for the Annual Roy’s Folks craft show Nov. 16th in High Point. This is a televised event with all the craftsmen who have been featured on Fox 8 WGHP. It’s good exposure and we will have to make something big and exciting to unveil. We will also begin selling our copper Christmas ornaments and copper star tree toppers.

We are very happy to be back- and busy. Please see the pics of the new shop! I’m sure the yard will begin filling up with giant bugs and flowers soon. Come by and see us,

Em
