The good folks over at Studio Museum Harlem have given us the heads up that they will be launching Metal Fabulous from noon to 6 pm, November 15-17, 2013.

Metal Fabulous is a husband-and-wife team best known for their unique designs using African cowry shells. Lately they’ve turned up their design style a notch by experimenting with different finishes on silver, brass and copper—and the results are Metal Fabulous!

The Studio Museum in Harlem is located at 144 West 125th Street in Harlem.
