When not busy with the aforementioned duties, Watson took classes at SAW from other visiting artist/instructors.

But as the workshop matured and moved to Maloit Park, it became a very professional facility.” Lynda Watson is currently active in various arts organizations and the Arts Council in Santa Cruz County, California. She was bestowed the honorific of Master Metalsmith by the Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, whose mission is “to preserve, promote, and advance the art and craft of fine metalwork.” Besides working on a retrospective show and book, Watson is a board member of the Summervail Art Workshop Legacy Project (SAWLP).
