Samantha Griffith

  Sam's background in metals begins with a MA from Morehead State University and stints in places such as Bootknife Forge in Kentucky and Advance Casting in New Mexico.  Her materials include:  Bronze, steel, welding, casting and fabrication, with a preferred focus on the figure. The images here include works old and new in bronze, clay, steel and mixed media.   Sam is currently using five years of product design experience to render concept sketches, propose public works, and to work with clients interested in custom commissions.  Now fully committed to the day to day workings of the studio and gallery, Sam is able to concentrate on her more serious pieces, studio furniture, and collaborating with Jen on different projects.
