Jen Goehring contact difficulties
« on: January 07, 2024, 03:45:59 AM »
Has anyone purchased any castings from Jen recently?. I am having difficulty getting a response from her so am curious as to whether she’s still in the business.

Jen should be at Carlisle for the Artisan's Show in a few weeks. She told me at the 2022 Eastern KRA Show that from here on, she only plans to be at three events each year, Kempton, The Artisan's show and the Eastern KRA Show.  She said she didn't want to do mail order sales.

things may have changed, as that conversation was over a year ago.

If she is basically just going to serve the PA and eastern market in person only at 3 shows, with no mail order option, then it’s probably safe to say the days are numbered for obtaining Reeves’ patterns through his daughter.  Perhaps she will eventually sell the pattern molds down the road to someone else.

There are others that sell sand castings. Many of them are cast from Goering pieces. ;)
