""When invited to exhibit at the inaugural "Elements" silver show in Edinburgh…my memories of the Periodic Table hung in my science classroom…sparked the idea to use them as the basis for my piece, executed with a mixture of precision and freedom that I hope characterizes all my work." - Karen Wallace (b. 1984) Tumbler cup 2015 Edinburgh Britannia silver, parcel-gilt The Pearson Silver Collection L2018.1801.034 Special thanks to The Pearson Silver Collection.

Gallup has an amazing selection of Native American art, with much lower prices than other places in New Mexico.

And now for something completely different. I took a workshop at The Society for Contemporary Craft with Glen Gardner and Maria Camera-Smith today. The copper one was practice for the sterling silver one. The facility and instructors were top notch. And I think they turned out pretty nice. Thanks. #maker #pghmaker #diy #jewellery #cuff #copper #silver #silversmith #coppersmith #forging

The brooch I made for my gold and silver smithing exam in the beginning of this year.
After my maternity leave, I hope to find an apprenticeship to continue my education.

@jmcrookston I see your #PaulSmith wall paper. It reminds me of #ChuckClose. I actually held the door for him at a gallery in Manhattan decades ago. My late wife was an artist and #Silversmith. I donated her work to museums: The #VictoriaAndAlbert in London being one.

"Rebecca de Quin is drawn to the vast, artistic potential offered by working with silver. As a silversmith and teacher, she is “captivated by the purity and simplicity of silver sheet” and has found inspiration in the two-dimensional works of the cubist painter Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966), the modernist architect and artist Le Corbusier (1887–1965), and her father, the constructivist sculptor Robert de Quin (1927–2002). In her work, de Quin wishes to “challenge perceptions of three-dimensional form.” Her innovative silversmithing techniques that combine cutting, scoring, and folding, are demonstrated in her centerpiece, pictured here, which provides remarkably different impressions from every perspective.
