Aimee Golant’s Summary
A sixth generation metalsmith, I create this art to bring hope to everyone's dreams of peace. Through my mezuzahs, menorahs, jewelry and public speaking I share and illuminate a universal message.
When I teach, my goal is to inspire creativity through metal in my students. I teach texturing, forming, annealing, soldering, casting, patina and more. I strive for my students to come up with unique ideas and excellent finishing down to the last details-- and have fun in the process. They will know what it feels like to express themselves creatively, make something unique and special to them, which is long lasting and tangible at the end of our class.
Aimee Golant’s Specialties:
Coming from a long line of metalsmiths (6 generations) and being young at heart can help me connect with the past while inspiring future generations!
