Connie Pfeiffer loves to work with metal, especially copper.  Her background includes receiving her MFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology, where her focus was almost entirely on metal working.  These days, as a sculptor and installation artist, who teaches the metalsmithing program at Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, CT, she uses metal as a starting point in her work, while experimenting with new or recycled materials. She is continually fascinated by the malleability of metal and appreciates the meditative quality evoked through hammering with its repetitive and rhythmic process.
