I'm very excited and ready to travel and explore a new place. I'm traveling with fellow metalsmith student, Laritza Garcia to visit our friend and also metalsmith and ECU alumni Jesse Bert.
We're planning a tour de art/metals in Southern Mexico; Taxco (famed for it's excellent crafted silver), Santa Clara del Cobre (famed for large chased/repoussed copper) and then San Miguel de Allende where Jesse resides to work in his studio.
It'll be such a great experience to see the work of traditional metalsmithery in Mexico and be inspired to make new work when I return.
Beautiful church in Taxco.
Look at all that silver!!! Only in Taxco, Mexico

Beautiful copper handcrafted in Santa Clara del Cobre
I won't be posting for about 10 or so days, after my trip to Mexico I'll be back in G-Vegas for 2 days and then it's off to DC/VA for the Trifecta Trunk Show...no rest for the weary they say.
Hope you're having a great summer too!
