	Description:		My Guest this Thursday, June 23rd at 3 p.m. PST on MetalSmith BenchTalk is legendary jeweler, metalsmith, and art educator Ron Ho from Bellevue, WA. Bio: "Ron Ho is a jeweler and honored art educator living in Bellevue, Washington. He grew up in Hawaii, surrounded by diverse cultures and their unique artistic expressions. But he was also born to traditional Chinese parents. His work has been influenced and informed by contrasts of American culture and Chinese culture and by the cultural diversity he now encounters, living in the Pacific Northwest. By using found-object pieces and materials enriched by cultural associations, his work reflects his search for a cultural sphere to belong to. He is the recipient of several distinguished art educator honors and his jewelry is in the collections of numerous private and public collections, including the Tacoma Art Museum and the King County Arts Commission."
