Hello All!
If you are planning to attend the New England Orchid Celebration,
YOU HAVE 6 DAYS REMAINING TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE.
All the pieces are coming together for a wonderful day of jewelry
demonstrations, lively bidding, good food and conversation. Meet
old friends from the Orchid Forum and finally put faces to those
names. Bring your creations for “show and tell”.
Hanuman and Ton will be there to greet you in person.
Help Ganoksin Stay Healthy and Strong!
Get involved in the Silent Auction at the New England Orchid Event.
Proceeds from the Silent Auction benefit Ganoksin’s continued growth
of archives and galleries. You can get involved by donating an item
to the auction or by bidding on them at the Orchid Event.
Donations may be in the form of artwork, tools, books, gemstones,
services, or any other items relating to metalsmithing. In years
past, the most popular items have been hand-made tools, but there
are lots of things that you can donate for the auction. Consider
donating a copy of your favorite metalsmithing book, or an original
piece of your metalwork. Casting services, advertising, and other
services are also hot items!
Ganoksin exists to facilitate sharing, jewelry research
and to publish current articles from many major publications in the
industry such as AJM and Metalsmith Magazine.
Silent Auction Donations can be either mailed to Metalwerx, or
brought to the Orchid Celebration the day of the event.
For more or to donate work, please complete the form on
