Archive: Around Town

F.Page Steinhardt, who graduated from Lansing in 1984, will be one of the featured artists presenting a demonstration the Kenan Center in Lockport during the weekend long the "100 American Craftsmen Show". Page is both a jeweler and a blacksmith who makes everything from delicate gold earings and wedding bands to authentic sword hilts or fine hunting knives. I think he would make a good subject for an interview. He works both at our shop here and his studio in Syracuse so he is often in town during the week.

What makes his skill even more interesting locally is that it was his Lansing Elementary School Art teacher, Carol Ast , who first introduced him to a blacksmith and a jeweler during Lansing's Bicentenial project 30 years ago.
