I have been playing with jewelry making and other metal work for
almost 50 years. My father was a dentist and got involved in making
jewelry with his scrap gold since he already had all the equipment
for lost wax casting and I got started by watching him in his lab.
In 2003 I retired from IBM and was given some education benefits
which I used to start taking jewelry classes at the local community
college, planning to pursue as a hobby and maybe try to make enough
out of it to fund my love of “toys” (rolling mills and other fun
objects). I am also taken classes in copper smithing and black
smithing and am having fun with all of them. So far, I have given
away a lot of stuff, but no sales.

Lower Hutt, New Zealand
I am a textile worker who is moving to work in metal, mostly copper.
I took classes with Mary Hettmansperger when she visited New Zealand
for the Aotearoa Creative Textiles Forum in 2008 and now combine my
interest in textiles with copper pieces.
I have online stores on ArtFire and Etsy for my textile and Art Doll
work while I work on copper prototypes for submission to stores here
in Wellington, New Zealand who either stock my current work or have
expressed an interest in my new copper range.
