THE HOT SPOT is a public metalsmithing studio I began with just an LLC back in 2012. After slowly buying up tools and equipment, we gained a steady location in 2014 as the studio became a part of a maker space. In a couple years, I finally gained the courage to take the next step!

In December 2017, this beautiful building came into my hands and transformed it into a public metalsmithing studio that offers a community and equipment for artists and metalsmiths.
