Sarah Parker Heermann
Silverkiln
Cary, NC. USA

I am a metal clay artist who has an array of original art jewelry as
well as a line of fingerprint jewelry. I have been working with
precious metal clay for almost eight years. As a philosophy and
English major, I tend to be inspired by the written word,
sentiments, quotations, proverbs, ideas, etc. However, I love design
for the simple beauty of design as well. Even though I have been
working with PMC for so long, I still consider myself a beginner! It
seems as though I am learning every moment. I am currently working
on a website and wanting to spend more time on my creations. I have
worked with some small boutiques, but the bulk of my pieces have
sold via word of mouth… the mighty mom network! I am eternally
grateful to the community of jewelry and metal clay artists that I
have found on the internet and can only hope that I can contribute
in some small way to inspire or help someone else.
