Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I create custom jewelry and art in metal employing the ancient technique of hammered metal called chasing and repoussé. I work in gold, silver, and copper to produce custom pieces of lasting beauty.
I learned hammered metal techniques from a succession of internationally renowned artists including Tom and Kay Benham, Valentin Yotkov, and Fabrizio Acquafresca. Much of my knowledge of silversmithing is self-taught, though I have attended workshops in silversmithing and other metalsmithing techniques.
My work usually employs natural objects as their model, such as leaves, flowers and animals, although some of my more spectacular pieces involve geometric shapes. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind, and I enter into an extensive dialog with my clients to arrive at a personal design before I begin work.
