WGG Monthly Meetings
Held on the Third Tuesday evening of each month, usually between 7-9 pm. Meet and share with people who work with metal. Exchange ideas and learn new techniques. Topics vary from month to month.
Third Tuesdays will continue to meet via Zoom to ensure safety during the pandemic and beyond.
Also continuing is WGG’s series of talks by wonderful guest artists who have shared their work, shown us their studios, demonstrated particular techniques, and engaged with WGG members and friends in great conversation. Here is a link to our first artist talk in November 2020.
3rd Tuesday meetings are open to the public, however, recordings of most artists’ talks are available to WGG members only. Join WGG to have access to this great resource.
