We’re back with another Hudson Valley Craftspeople Spotlight! In case you missed it, we’ve already covered ceramicists, soap and candle makers, textile brands, glass artists, florists, and jewelry makers. In today’s post we’re talking about local metalsmiths. Most of this new list of metalsmiths incudes artists or studios that provide courses, so if you’re ever looking to pick up something new, here are some resources! Some of these artists specialize in custom pieces and restoring historic artifacts of the Hudson Valley. Some of the metalsmiths mentioned use their craft to make jewelry so this is also a great companion piece to our jewelry makers post.
