AN INVITATION FROM FSGNW
Members of the Northwest chapter of the Florida Society of Goldsmiths are pleased to be part of Tallahassee's First Friday gallery hop from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on the first Friday of each month. Many of the galleries and shops in Railroad Square are open on First Fridays, so come walk the block, check out the art, see, and be seen. FSGNW members display their work for sale and can answer questions about upcoming classes and workshops in metalsmithing.
The studio is also open on Second Sundays. Members can come work in the studio, and the public is welcome to come watch, ask questions, and learn about metal work.
Please contact us if you would like to receive email notification of upcoming classes. |
WHO WE ARE
The Florida Society of Goldsmiths is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which was formed by metalsmiths in 1984 to aid and support other metalsmiths through meetings, publicity, workshops, and exhibitions. FSG is divided into six regionally based chapters: West Panhandle, Northwest, Northeast, West Coast, Southwest, and Southeast. Each region sponsors workshops and educational programs on the local, state and/or national level. The six chapters are coordinated by the state organization composed of an Executive Director, Board of Directors, and Representatives from the individual chapters. FSG members are primarily active metalsmiths and jewelry crafts people. There are no limits to the kinds of metals or techniques employed. Members' work runs the gamut from platinum, gold, silver, and precious metal clay to found object pieces. Click here for a brief history.
