Ellen Marks
Perrysburg, OH. USA

I have a pottery and glass studio, and I am currently taking my
second jewelry class at the Toledo Museum of Art. I would like to
start experimenting with patina, and have just purchased Patina by
Matthew Runfola. I also think Foldforming looks fascinating.

around, henry jordan, joe wells, mark mcburnett, jonathan mcburnett,

jewelers in east texas. I hate jewelry, but i love art and crafting
things, which is how i ended up a jeweler. my end goal ambition is

works online and at shows that me and my family made out of our shop
on our farm nestled way out in the middle of nowhere. but for now i
