Travis Conn's Profile

Travis has been a Maker of Things his entire life. He is a studio metalsmith specializing in raising and repousse techniques, teaching those techniques to other smiths, as well as teaching art to elementary school children. He recieved his B.A. from The Evergreen State College where he still teaches the occasional repousse workshop. Travis is a dedicated Iron Age historian and a skilled martial artist interested in the early development of metalworking as it parallels the rise of physical mastery. Travis practices meditation-in-action both with the arts of precision hammering and full-contact swordfighting, and routinely teaches them as one subject. You can see his work at The Craft and Art of Travis Conn.
