Welcome
Happy 2012, everyone! Here we are in the heart of winter. This is the time of year I head to the studio, clear out the ghosts of 2011 and start working on new design ideas. I'll be doing a bit of traveling to work with the wonderful shops and fine galleries around the country who carry my work (please see the current list here: http://www.appliedartsstudio.com/shops) and then building my show schedule for this summer. Check back in the EVENTS tab for updates as they are available.
Information on custom jewelry from family photos is found through the CUSTOM tab, and a selection of items available for sale on my website can be found under the PURCHASE tab. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests through the CONTACT page.
Unique jewelry compositions using soldered glass tiles to showcase the compelling details of natural and vintage materials. Each jewelry tile is composed of art glass, recycled glass, copper foil and lead-free silver solder. The solder is often oxidized for a smoky dark patina
Oxidation is a natural process and may change over time depending upon exposure to the elements and body chemistry. Each piece is finished with a wax coating to add luster and water resistance. Prolonged immersion is not recommended. Clean only with a soft cloth and bit of water.
