Goss Design Studio
Owen Sound, ON. Canada
I have been a jewellery and metal artist since 1973. I work in my attic studio in my home and sell my work across Canada. My metals of choice are sterling, brass, copper and bronze. In addition I design metal sculptures, wall pieces and books, often combining etched metal images with intaglio prints. My primary aim is to produce jewellery that has a dual function: to be beautiful and also be a wearable “memorandum”. When worn it evokes a memory, is a reminder, acknowledges a history and is an aid to memory. The piece of jewellery can itself be a momento; from words, to images, to maps,to vintage and family photographs.
