MEDAL-MAKING IN LOS ANGELES?

  Rich Hartzog forwarded the following query from an artist
  in the Los Angeles area looking for a Janvier reducing
  machine:

  "My name is Charles Danek and I am one the artists working
  in the Artistic Infusion Program of the U.S. Mint.  Presently,
  I am seeking to create 'Art Medals' of some of my designs to
  further my sensibilities in the medium.  I live in Los Angeles,
  and I was wondering if you knew of any facilities in my
  area that may be able to assist me, or who might be interested
  in collaborating. Ideally, I would like to have access to a
  reduction machine.

  Rich replied: "Not too many of the Janvier lathes around! I
  don't know of any in the L.A. area, but I know a group that
  does know the answer to all such questions.  I've forwarded
  this reply to the group moderator; the once-a-week email
  goes out Sunday.

  The short answer is to check my page for commercial
  manufacturers of medals.  And, there is the American Medallic
  Sculpture Association (AMSA), which as a medalist, you
  should join.  Lots of contacts there! AMSA"
