Fwd: Guild of Metalsmith's meets

[Jon Atkinson]

Hey Everyone,

We've just been extended an invitation to the Guild of Metalsmith's August Membership meeting. It's on Wed. Aug. 6th, and though it's on our open house I would like to try to attend. If anyone is interested in seeing what these folks can do, get in touch with Martin, or just show up.

These guys were kind enough to come to our Minne Faire and give some great demos, I would like to keep building that relationship.

-Jon

Fellow makers of stuff,

 

I just wanted to extend to you, and anyone in the Makers, an invitation to the Guild's August membership meeting. This is our annual corn feed and pig roast meeting. Other than our conference in September (aka The Madness) this usually proves to be one of our largest events.

 

The host, Dan Pate, has a shop that is well stocked with tools for working "skinny metal" (he does custom auto body work). He is more than happy to show off his tools and let people play and some of the things he and his machines can do are nothing short of amazing. 

 

The meeting is on August 6th (Wednesday, yeah I know it conflicts with your open house night). The potluck starts at 6:30 but there are usually demonstrations of some sort and socializing going on for a few hours before. The business part of the meeting is at about 7 and then show and tell and demonstrations. Most people have usually drifted away by 9:30 or so.

 

Attached is our July news letter. Page 4 has details and a map (it doesn't Google well). The meeting is a bit east of Northfield, so if you have folks who would like to come but have no means of getting there let me know and I'll see if we can arrange a ride.

 

Take care
