Members, it is time to renew your membership.
This has been a tough time for organizations such as ours. We are so dependant on the social aspect of workshops, meetings, and our art show. We were so grateful to have had a live Art show in 2021 and look forward to many more live and social gatherings in 2022.

Midwest Metalsmiths embrace many aspects of metalwork: enameling, jewelry, sculpture, blacksmithing, and vessels as well as educators, and gallery owners. Visit the individual member's page to acquaint yourself with the depth of talent and the broad use of metalsmithing skills. Meet Our Artists
Hosting four to six workshops featuring local and nationally known artists each year is a big part of who Midwest Metalsmiths are. We are back with a virtual workshop in the near future. We will be back with live workshops when it is safe.
