Find out about last minute additions to the schedule, and get the skinny on special events around New England and beyond. The Metalwerx Insider is sent out monthly and always contains timely information of interest to our community. For those of you in the Boston area, the Insider frequently contains announcements of special metal events in your backyard. And, if the universe aligns itself just right and results in a new class or workshop being added to the schedule, after the printed calendar is mailed out, the Insider is the best place to find out about it.
