Fall is Here!

It is October in North Florida and finally the weather is turning a little more moderate. It has been a while since my first post and I am still working on my website. It is just a matter of learn as I go. It has been an interesting few months, but then again it has been a strange year. I really miss teaching my classes at the local Arts and Crafts Center, but they are still closed and I don’t know when the City will reopen the center. The same goes for our local Chapter of the Florida Society of Goldsmiths. The shutdown has given me the chance to take advantage of expanding number of Zoom and online workshops recently, which has been great. Taking these classes has expanded my skills and I have had a chance to play with some new techniques.

In August, I had the opportunity to take part in a jewelry exhibit at the LeMoyne Arts Foundation in Tallahassee. It was a small show with only about 7 jewelers exhibiting during the month of August. That show has lead to a couple more shows for the remainder of 2020. I will be participating in the Autumn Artisans Faire on October 24th as part of the Florida Society of Goldsmiths. It is a small one day show, and one of the very few outdoor shows that have not been canceled for the year. I am looking forward to the show and it will be interesting to see how it is attended.

Thank you again for letting me ramble on and I hope to post again soon.

A New View

Welcome to blog post number 1. Since this website and blog are new to me, I am not really sure where to start. I have been an artist/crafter all my life. some of my early memories are of making things and always wanting to try the latest craft or art project. Even today, I feel the “squirrel” instinct take over and I am off on the new project.

About 20 years ago, I started working with Metal Clay and it has been one of my favorite mediums since. I still do some traditional metalsmithing, beadwork, enameling and glass fusing, though I always return to Metal Clay.

If you are reading this blog, I have a question for you. Do you work with Metal Clay? If so, which type or style do you like to use? What do you like to make?

In future blogs, I will talk about some of my favorite teachers and artists. Also all of the jewelry and metal resources I like.

If you have any questions, please send me an email through my contact page.

Talk to you soon!
