Bill Dawson

Metalsmith / Tool maker

Bill was one of my first students who took Japanese inlay workshop in Portland in 2013. Since then, I have seen his precise and beautiful finished chisel works and I knew that he is the one to ask for Momokoya tools. 

​

"I got started in metalsmithing working my way through school, making jewelry tools for the studio at the University of Oregon. 

The work was enjoyable and I needed the money.  I found that I like the tradition of tool making, and I like that my work helps other people explore their own creative expression." -- Bill Dawson
