——> well, crap, summer is flying by, i have been busy busy busy with traveling and cleaning up hail damage (twice) and taking workshops and repainting the basement and traveling some more, i haven’t had any friggin’ time to be in the studio… sigh… so i’ve got nothing to show for myself but a lovely picture of nature.

and now i am taking off for some time in California with family, then wandering off on my own to visit some sisters of metal (you know who you are!). i’ll be back in the studio full time in August, oh-so-ready to start banging on metal again, explore chasing and repoussé on my own, and making some lovely things for you.

how has your summer been so far? would love to hear from ya!

——-> just finished up a five day chasing and repoussé workshop with the inimitable Fabrizio Acquafresca at the fantastic venue of the Denver Jewelry Studio. my final project for myself was to create a cactus flower cuff. sure, there are a hundred things i could change, more detail here, more volume there, of course it-would-look-awesome-in-silver-but-i-sure-do-love-copper, but damn, girl, i sure like how this turned out for my first completed piece.

taking this bit of time away from teaching to discover and play and explore and learn new things has been absolutely priceless. i might have to say this is officially the end of my so called sabbatical, as i am beginning to plan for 2026, because, well, you have to plan ahead these days. with a few other exciting things up my sleeve, i am also excited to integrate some of my new found techniques into my own work.

thank you, @ilmaestroacquafresca, for being such a soulful, spirited teacher. and thank you, @denverjewelrystudio, for having such excellent facilities and such a welcoming creative space!

and thank YOU all for joining me on this jaggedy journey!
