Gold, silver, and other metals transform into works of art within the confines of Brooklyn Metal Works. The rentable studio space encompasses work tables, a wide selection of tools, and areas for soldering. But its most important feature remains collaboration. Here, artists who practice metalsmithing can experiment with different techniques, share their work, and trade constructive critiques.
