Ep 80 Jen Phillips @officialjenphillips of Metal Monkey Design Co in Saskatchewan, Canada

This week, Lando Novak @abstract_blacksmith and Nick Welsh @twistedsteel505 sat down with Jen to discuss her path in the metal art world.

Jen has recently been making a name for herself with metal sculpture. She has won 1st place in the Artistic and Design category of Metal Supermarkets ‘Metal My Way’ Contest.

Awarded 2nd place in Fusion Arts International Art Competition ‘5th Women Artists Art Exhibition’ and has also graced the front page of FFJournal magazine!

Jen works out of the shop she built on her property along with help from the family. She is a hunter and you can definitely see her love for wildlife come to play in her art pieces. Jen is also working on a super modest tool list. You might be surprised to hear what little she uses to accomplish so much!

Don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what you think of the show!

Also if you wanna be super duper fantastically awesome...
