Notes and news from the jeweler's bench.
I’m excited to announce that starting in mid-July I will be teaching a class at North Seattle College!  I’m joining an amazing team of instructors and I’m delighted for the chance to get to know another facet of the Seattle metals community, namely, all the wonderful students at North. The studio at North is super cool: […]

For the #facebookartjewelrychallenge, I am posting images of some pendants I have made over the last 5 years. Lovely silver spirals, with gemstones.
