Kest Schwartzman (they/them) established Vagabond Metalworks soon after their 2005 graduation from the Massachusetts College of Art’s metalworking program. Kest works primarily in copper; sometimes brass, steel, silver, or found materials. They make masks, crowns, and a small amount of complimentary jewelry, all fully wearable, comfortable, and durable. Their work us in private collections all around the world. They’ve been doing more or less the same thing for almost twenty years, and are still getting better.
