If you haven’t heard of Bruce Metcalf yet, you’ve been missing out.

Take one look at his work and you’ll be hooked. The peculiar miniature characters he creates in metals enrapture audiences from all walks of life. His opinions about the new generation of craft have rocked the international artisan community. Bruce Metcalf and his work are the Rage Against The Machine of the craft world. Seriously.

You may not be familiar with Metcalf, but have no fear: you can get up to speed in time to see the exhibition at the Southwest School of Art & Craft Feb 11-April 11.

Watch this short video to get you started…
