Hello friends. I have been working at metal smithing & silver smithing
since the late 1900s. I took a class at a nearby adult education program
& learned the basics. I read books, looked at pictures & asked questions
where I could. That was the extent of my formal training. I remember
when I started the class, one of the women who had been there a while,
asked why I was taking the class. I told her I was going to be a silver
smith. She just smiled & gave me the look of a mother that knows better,
and said, "Of course you are!"
I love the look of a richly patinaed copper next to sterling silver.
They seem to compliment each other in a way that makes each look more
precious. I have discovered through the years how to blend these metals,
along with semi precious stones, and, sometimes, gold-filled, into
richly layered works of wearable art. I NEVER get tired of hearing my
customers say how they get so many compliments on their "Loganwear". I
am supposed to toot my own horn here for now until I can pay someone to
toot it for me! The bolos I wear in one of my "other lives" as a
musician always get praised. The pieces I make are one of a kind, hand
made works of art that I guarantee will bring more joy into your life.
Or, your special someone's life! Ok, that's about all the tooting I can
stand for now.
The site is a work in progress at this time, so please check back!
Take care, Jerry
