Interview with Kamil Peters, Metal Artist & Sculptor with a Social Conscience - 1.14.18

Kamil Peters creates highly distinctive metal art work in Holyoke, MA ranging from small intricate masks to massive sculptures of animals and insects, as well as large-scale commercial installations. But his passion also lies in teaching the art of welding to young people who find themselves lost in a school system and society that renders them invisible. "Everybody needs a place... a place to feel like home away from home," he says. "When you honor your children, they will honor you back."
