"For
anyone wanting to learn more about copper smithing... this is the
workshop to take. I have taken many workshops but never one where every
person taking the class left with a beautifully crafted piece! That says
alot about Ben's ability to guide and teach folks of all levels.
Another workshop? Sign me up!" Bill Brison
