While expanding their business to include a new studio large enough to hold workspace for several smiths, a photo of the dynamic duo (Matthew & Karine Maynard) was snapped by a daytime visitor.
Karine and Matthew Maynard take a well-deserved break. The couple met in 2004 at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. After a bit of long-distance dating, Karine moved from Wisconsin to pursue her master of fine arts degree at the University of Kentucky. She worked with small metals and jewelry there and eventually joined Matthew full-time at the studio.More:Blacksmith Extraordinaire Andrew Crawford's Gates
