Summer 2013 Update

Please visit me at the Real Designer Market on Saturday, July 13.  We are located at 268 Mulberry street in Soho behind The Puck Building --- from 11 - 7.  To inquire about future appearances e-mail academicartisan@gmail.com.

About the featured jewelry -- it is very lightweight and the clasps are easy to fasten.  I designed and assembled the aluminum chain.  Every aspect of the sterling silver necklace, including the clasp, was designed and formed by my own hands.  It is also available in copper.  The clay earrings are so lightweight that you do not feel them on the ear, yet they are bold and dynamic.  The metal cuffs were formed and textured by my hands from singe sheets of metal.  The wire is hand formed.  One question I am frequently asked is how I "paint" the jewelry.  As a reminder, it is clay throughout and each piece is one of a kind.   Remember you are an original and life is too short not to wear original jewelry.

I also anticipate vending at a pop up shop on August 17.  More to follow about that venture.  Meanwhile. here are some of the items that I will show this week end.  The clay "face-bracelets" are new.  Each face has its own personality.  If you have an idea for a face or design that you would like to wear, speak with me and I will see if we can't make that happen.  Follow my blog and get a 10% discount on your first purchase.
