Hello from Vancouver, BC, but soon to be Olympia, WA!!! | Introductions Come First, Right? | Forum

I'm finally making it back to the US after almost 10 years in Canada.  In early January, I'll be calling Olympia*, WA home!!!!  

Some of you have already met me. I was at the Dorthy Steigler bronze forging workshop about  a year and a half ago.  I was an active member in the Guild of Metalsmiths back in Minnesota. I've completed that guild's basic blacksmithing series and a bunch of other courses, but really didn't have my own shop space.  I've had a week long chasing and repousse class with Kirsten Skiles and another with a woman whose name escapes me right now but she was a student of Heikki Seppa.  I'm terribly rusty, but I'm looking forward to becoming an active member in NWBA. 

*I don't know where I'll be living yet. I'm currently checking Craig's List for rooms for rent, house sitting and other short term, bare bones arrangements so I can look for a house with shop space ASAP. Anybody want to rent a room? I'll keep my toolboxes of plastic and wooden hammers for sheet metal work and my metal working books out of the storage locker...

Looking forward to meeting more members,

Sarah
