Mtn. Metalworks Jewelry

This is a Gallery, a workspace, and a classroom all rolled into one! Come in to my shop, and meet a real person who creates things with her hands all day long! Become that person too, through taking a class or a workshop. Wield a hammer, strike a die, light a torch, form metal into a shape you love. Now a days, there are so many new and different ways of creating, including now digital crafting, and 3-d printing. In my shop, however, I still continue to create in the style of my grandfather. Not because I am unfamiliar with the techniques of digital making, or mass producing jewelry, but because I too feel that my connection to the work is stronger if I touch each piece, and form it with my own hands. The intimacy that I have with the work translates to beauty, individuality, and connection with the wearer. I practice using materials sparingly, reusing, and recycling, and I often repurpose antiques or heirlooms. I create custom work, do repairs, and lead workshops.
