This week, I sit down with Michael Studebaker of Studebaker Metals. ⚒️ - Eleven years ago, Michael started crafting jewelry in his parents’ basement with little more than a few rusty tools, a dream, and a lot of ambition. - His journey began after earning a BFA in Metalsmithing and spending several years working in museums in Philadelphia. Through a series of events, Michael found himself back in Pittsburgh, taking on odd jobs while trying to figure out his next move. As a traditionally trained metalsmith, he saw an opportunity to create affordable, hand-forged jewelry. After meeting his partner, Alyssa Catalano, a fashion marketing expert, they combined their talents to build the successful brand that Studebaker Metals is today. - Now, at their new workshop and showroom on Smallman St in the Strip District, Michael, Alyssa, and their team continue to grow the Studebaker name, creating high-quality, hand-forged pieces made from the best materials available. Thanks for listening!
