Linda in her studio
I met this awesome lady at the SNAG conference in May. Her name is Linda Savineau and she's a metalsmith who lives just outside of Antwerp. She's also a very generous and helpful person. A few weeks ago she invited me over to her home to see her studio and to borrow tools. We had such a good visit and I left with a couple bags of stuff including a Dremel tool, dapping block and punches, a bench light, soldering accessories, ring mandrel, pickle acid, liver of sulfur, flux, a
B & S gauge, and more. She also loaned me a few books from her library. Since then she has been a great resource for finding tools and materials in the city. She even brought me sterling from her stock and a delicious lunch. Oh, yeah, she makes some pretty great things, too. Big thanks, Linda!

You can watch a great video Linda made for the SNAG conference about her work and the materials she uses. It even won an award!
Thanks for reading.
