Mia Benson
West Fork, Arkansas. USA

Hello ya’ll, no I’m not from the south, but I have lived here so
long sometimes I feel like I am southern born. In reality my heart
is in the West. I grew up and went to high school in Colorado and
still have family living there and in Arizona and Nevada. So I guess
you could say I have Western roots. And thus evolved my love of
Native American history, art, jewelry, and pottery. Currently I am a
Beader and just starting again after many many years doing
silvermithing. I have resurected my Mother’s old jewelry making
tools and am happily blundering along.

Susan Fancy

Dexter, MI. USA

Hello! I’m a large scale glass artist who has always been fascinated
with metal on glass, and metal. I’m following this interest, after
many years of dreaming about it…and am taking a basic
metalsmithing class. I’d love to make vessels, objects and jewelry
from silver, copper, and glass. I have really appreciated the effort
that has gone into this website and those who contribute to it.
