A Message to Our Valued Customers

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Stephen Brownell, the leader and founder of Virginia School of Metal. His dedication and passion built this business, and his absence is deeply felt by our family, our team, and the community he cared for so much. 

As we navigate this difficult time, we are working through the challenges that have come with his loss. We appreciate your patience, understanding and continued support as we make the necessary adjustments. 

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your kindness and loyalty mean the world to us. 

-Suzanne Brownell & The Virginia School of Metal Family.
