We Wield the Hammer [WWTH] exists to identify, train, track and support young women of African descent who might not otherwise choose a career as a metalsmith. We seek to offer opportunities for artistic equity, economic empowerment and access to a vocation which is very often traditionally unavailable to women, particularly marginalized women and girls both here and abroad. Our training program begins the process of leveling the playing field in many ways, most especially at the entry point of skill building.
