Emmett Armand

Blacksmithing Studio Instructor

Emmett Armand is a kind of jack-of-all-craftsperson with poetic inclinations from Detroit, MI. Self-described as a “tinkering grandpa with a riot grrrl twist”, their work spans a broad range of mediums and themes, however metalwork has always been their bread and butter. They received their BFA from the College for Creative Studies with a concentration in metalsmithing, jewelry, and blacksmithing in 2009. Their work has been displayed in galleries both locally and nationally and belongs in private collections across the world. They currently work as a full-time metal shop and foundry staff technician at the College for Creative Studies and in addition to maintaining the shops, they also teach a course on welded metal sculpture. In their free time they enjoy renovating their home, tinkering in their studio, gardening, and activism.
