Our Mission

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.
