The Washington Guild of Goldsmiths is dedicated to furthering knowledge and interest in metalwork and beyond. Whether you’re a jeweler, a creator of holloware, a sculptor, or exploring the exciting realm of alternative materials, we invite you to join our dynamic community. Together, we celebrate the art of adorning the body, the plinth, the wall, and the table. No matter your skill level, we offer a supportive and inspiring environment to exchange ideas, master new techniques, and push the boundaries of your craft. Come be a part of our vibrant group and let’s shape the future of metalwork and material culture together!
