MEDAL-MAKING IN LOS ANGELES?
Rich Hartzog forwarded the following query from an artist
in the Los Angeles area looking for a Janvier reducing
machine:"My name is Charles Danek and I am one the artists working
in the Artistic Infusion Program of the U.S. Mint. Presently,
I am seeking to create 'Art Medals' of some of my designs to
further my sensibilities in the medium. I live in Los Angeles,
and I was wondering if you knew of any facilities in my
area that may be able to assist me, or who might be interested
in collaborating. Ideally, I would like to have access to a
reduction machine.Rich replied: "Not too many of the Janvier lathes around! I
don't know of any in the L.A. area, but I know a group that
does know the answer to all such questions. I've forwarded
this reply to the group moderator; the once-a-week email
goes out Sunday.The short answer is to check my page for commercial
manufacturers of medals. And, there is the American Medallic
Sculpture Association (AMSA), which as a medalist, you
should join. Lots of contacts there! AMSA"- 2004-05-02
