SILVER CITY, NM — Silver City MainStreet is excited to announce the April Kick-Ass Entrepreneurs — Silver City (KAE-SC) Story Time featuring Metal Mysterium. The Entrepreneur Story Time will take place at Enjoy the Journey Cafe and Gallery, 112 W Yankie Street in downtown Silver City on Wednesday, April 12th at 5:30 pm. The event is free to attend, with the option to purchase food and drinks, and open to the public.
Join us for Story Time and learn how Steven made the journey from metalsmith to mystic to an artist integrating both paths. After spending 15 plus years in the production/fabrication industry as a CNC machinist, he became bored with the lack of artistic freedom and decided to dive into the world of jewelry making. Since then it has been a winding road of learning and growing that eventually led him to Silver City in the fall of 2021, where he not only creates custom astrologically informed pieces but also has happily taken on the role of repair jeweler for our town!
