After receiving a degree in design and serving a two year formal apprenticeship, followed by a two year journeymanship, Gerald Benedict was accepted into the Pennsylvania Craftsman Guild.   His next 28 years were invested in developing and further mastering his skills in metalsmithing.

With years of art shows to his credit, as well as numerous blue ribbons and awards for ‘Best of Show’, Mr. Benedict is now branching out and realizing many of his life’s ambitions.  His designs were strongly influenced by design professors and by the headmaster in the shops where he apprenticed.  He continues to strive for excellence in his work, sharing his creativity and formal training with his apprentices.

Please enjoy the samples we’ve provided and continue to visit the gallery often, as we will be adding many exciting new designs, and updating frequently.
