Say Hello to Jose Draga when you are there. I got to visit with him when I was there in 1995.

I am sure you will have wonderful time there, just don't stay out all night dancing.

Dave, I hope you have a wonderful time in Argentina.
And find a lot of good stuff to share with us all on your return.
They would be hard pressed to find a better teacher of Western bright cut than you.
Hope your classes/seminars go well.
Best regards.

Wow! What an opportunity....It would be nice go down there and learn from you. Had no idea there was a National Silversmithing School, let alone a silversmithing school anywhere. Seems like all I do is fumble around in the dark, and I just finally found your website last night and learned who you were. Your work is amazing! Best of luck to you on your journey. Seth

Here are a couple of nice websites I just stumbled upon that you might want to check on. Both sites are well worth the time. Click on the pics for a bit of bio and examples of work. Dave, I sure hope I got the correct Dave, because I am sure going to feel like a moron if I didn't.

Welcome home, Dave.
I'm sure the folks enjoyed your classes.

Here are a few pics from Argentina.The Idea of mixing decorative techniques is being executed by Gabriel Lamami and myself in Bariloche.
I also visited with a silversmith in San Antonio De Areco. His name is Patricio Draghi.I was very impressed with his design and execution of his work every piece that they make is drawn and every little piece of silver or gold is made by them from casting ingots for wire and sheet to the finished product.

Great pics Dave. Glad you had a good trip.
