Howd’ye, Can anyone tell me if Heikki Seppa is alive and well and if
he is still teaching.I would greatly appreciate any info. In the
archives I read of students of his who are carrying on his traditions
so it seems he may have passed on.

Thanks,
Annmarie

Yes, Heikki is alive and doing quite well. He has remarried to a
wonderful jeweler and lives with her in a new house near Seattle, if I
remember correctly. He rarely teaches workshops, but I was lucky
enough to attend one at the 92nd Street Y in NYC last January. I
really enjoyed it and highly recommend him as a teacher. The workshop
was organized by Tevel Herbstman of Allcraft and Jonathan Wahl of the
92nd St Y, two of the most helpful people in the metals scene in New
York. I would try to contact them if you cannot find any announcements
of workshops in the metals magazines/ newsletters. Juliet Gamarci
