Silversmithing Classes

Having just led two separate, individual classes with two very talented and eager to learn students this week, I am reminded why I love to teach this craft. Four days, two different women with a dream to learn an ancient craft. I get to meet some remarkable people, from all different walks of life, hear their stories and give them my own. We become friends. Easily.
In this world of confusion and turmoil, there is also beauty and refuge. To share space and stories enlarges us. It takes us beyond our daily routine and opens our eyes and our souls to others journeys.
Creating something from your own hands, your own vision and creative space- is rewarding. To set limits on yourself comes easily. To see those limiting beliefs dissolve with the acquisition of a new skill, a new opportunity for growth, is priceless.
I am thankful for my job.

I'm in the FINALS for Best Jeweler in Mount Washington Valley!

Thank You for nominating me and voting me into the FINALS for best jeweler in the Mount Washington Valley !!!!!!

I am so fortunate to be included into this group. It has been my DREAM since I was a child to make jewelry from the heart, with my own hands. My first creation was at 10 years old- I made hand hammered copper bracelets in my Dad's garage, from an old copper pipe, using his grinding wheel and old hammers.

Please VOTE again now for the FINALS, voting closes on April 24, 2016.

POW... TURQUOISE! ~Are YOU ready for THIS??

Baby it's cold outside!

With the winter winds howling down from the mountains and across the fields, I find myself homebound in my studio today, the driveway packed with deep snow drifts. The fire is roaring in the woodstove and all is good.
A new box of supplies waits to be opened and played with. Ready to head into the studio to work on a custom ring commission, and perhaps make some new hair barrettes with torch fired enamels on copper. These also double as beautiful shawl pins. Some new enamel colors have been unpacked from my goodie box, and I can't wait to try them out.

On a sad note, I had to say goodbye to my loyal studio mate of nearly 12 years, my sheltie, Jake passed away just before Christmas from congestive heart failure. I will miss him terribly, he was my shadow and so happy to just be by my side. We are dog lovers here, and we have 3 other dogs, who are wonderful, but as you animal lovers know, there is no denying the huge hole left in our lives when we have to say goodbye. Thanks for showing me the way, Jake. xo

Time for YOU!

As the New Year approaches and Christmas is behind us, now may be the perfect time for you to treat yourself!

Do you have a jewelry re-design you have been wanting to have done? Something sitting in your jewelry box that just isn't your style? I can re-work that for you and together we can design something more suited to your taste. Let's get together and talk about a re-design.

Fascinated by "Memere's Work"

This is my 4 year old grandson on a visit to his "Memere's" workshop. He loves my tools, and is fascinated by every little thing on my bench. He is very respectful about tools and knows there are many mysterious "dangers" in my studio. He always asks permission before touching things and is so curious, asking a million questions- faster than I can answer them!

Cleansing the Studio space!

Every so often, an artist feels bogged down and can't quite put their finger on the problem. What's going on? Where is the inspiration, the passion and the DESIRE to work and create? It is disconcerting, not a good feeling at all.
As I look around my studio, I see remnants of old projects, beginnings of new ones, lots of notes, lots of tools and notebooks, paperwork, All important, and necessary to running a business. However, all the clutter can also bog you down and clutter your mind. It always takes me a while to summon the energy needed to go through it all and make decisions.And, by "a while", I mean weeks, possibly months, before it DAWNS on me, what the problem is...
CLEAN your studio space! Make room for new ideas and exciting new projects.
That is what I have spent the last two days doing: cleaning, rearranging, putting some things away, filing, and scrubbing.
It feels good. Really good!
I am not quite finished yet, but I am most of the way there, and I feel re-energized already.
Whew.

Is it time for a re-design of your Wedding Bands?

Many couples find themselves wanting to "update" their wedding bands for special anniversary gifts. This is a cool thing to do to celebrate how you have evolved as a couple and maybe your wedding rings is a great place to reflect that growth!
10, 15 or 20 or more years down the road from "I do", you may be finding yourselves ready for a new look, or something you couldn't quite afford as newlyweds. This is YOUR time now. I would be happy to sit down with you and help you design a new look, from your existing bands. Yes, I can most likely use your gold to melt down and create a new look for you! Isn't that great? You can keep the sentimental gold of your original bands and use it in your new one if you choose to. Or we can can start from scratch with all new metals. The choice is yours, let's talk!
