Tiff Massey is a former metalsmithing student. She was initially in the Jewelry for Non-Majors as a Biology Major. Her initial work was far beyond any others in the course both technically and aesthetically. She decided that metalsmithing was her passion and changed majors. Her area of concentration in metalsmithing lead her to advanced MA work at Wayne State and then on to an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Congratulations Tiff!
