#Repost @selkirkcollege ・・・ Selkirk College student Samonte Cruz is working on his final projects in the Jewelry Studio of Kootenay Studio Arts in Nelson as he prepares for the annual Year End Show & Sale that takes place at the Victoria Street Campus on June 23 and 24. Cruz arrived to #SelkirkCollege from Keremeos to take the certificate program. "I'm drawn by the process of creating something out of nothing. I really like working with metal because it is something that seems really rigid, but you are able to manipulate it and work it into a form of my choosing," says Cruz.

Nine more days until my graduation show! Do I look as freaked out as I feel? #kootenaystudioarts #transmetalsmith #metalsmith #silversmith #goldsmith (at Kootenay Studio Arts)

Three new rings and some production line pieces that refuse to be cast. A gentle reminder that things don't always work out the way you planned, but you learn, adapt and just keep moving forward. #workinprogress #oxidizedsilver #lostwaxcasting #transmetalsmith #kootenaystudioarts (at Kootenay Studio Arts)

Been doing a lot of casting this semester but cave been careful to to reveal the final product. It's kinda killing me though. 😬 #waitforit #925 #lostwaxcasting #kootenaystudioarts #transmetalsmith (at Kootenay Studio Arts)
