The FSGSo chapter includes Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.
Our Mission
FSGSo was created by metal smiths to aid and support other metalsmiths through meetings, publicity, workshops and exhibitions; to provide metalsmiths with opportunities for education and exchange of information; to broaden public knowledge, awareness and appreciation of fine quality hand-crafted metal work including but not limited to jewelry. FSGSo members create jewelry and other metal arts. All types of metals may be employed, even though the name of the organization suggests otherwise. Members utilize precious and base metals as well as metal clay. Experimentation is encouraged! Our members come from different backgrounds. Some have their living as goldsmiths, silversmiths and instructors. Other members engage in the metal arts as a hobby.
