I love to imitate the raw, worn look many ancient pieces emulate.
Jewelry and adornment that caught my attention at the field museum were
primitive works from Borneo and the Aborigine of Australia. What I
admired most were the beautiful wraps of exposed materials that seemed
to give me insight into past cultures. In my own work, I love using exposed string in part because of it’s
reputation as being taboo but also because it conveys a look I desire.
It portrays a lighter more fragile appearance and works well in
combination with raw hacked wire, colorful ribbon, and metal created or
found objects. In this workshop we challenge the shape, form and
inclusion of material of the tassel and fringe form. Work will be
created for use in interiors and jewelry workshop. all levels
