One of my goals for Modern Metalsmithing is to make metalsmithing more accessible and affordable for anyone looking to get started at home. Instead of metalsmithing being something big and scary that requires a torch or workshop, I want it to be something you can do at your kitchen counter at the end of a long day. (Think of it as sewing’s edgy older sister.)
Fortunately, you can get started with just a few simple tools. (These are the same tools that I recommend for my online class Foundations in Metalsmithing: Statement Earrings.) Best of all: they’re inexpensive and don’t take up a ton of space – meaning you can stash them in a box or drawer so they’re out of the way when you’re not using them!
