Paula Vincent
Beaverton, Oregon. USA

I am a freeform beader, wire jewelry and novice sterling silver
artist, thoroughly enjoying it all. Just recently moved and am
trying to find an open lab in the Beaverton, OR area where I can
continue to learn and do my silver work.

Patricia Ann Parks
Trisha’s Beads
Jamestown, North Carolina. USA

My name is Patricia Parks. I am the owner of Trisha’s Beads. I have
taken metalworking classes at The sawtooth center for the arts as
well as wire wrapping classes at Brasstown Folk School. I prefer to
use sterling silver with I love any hands on metal work
such as sawing, piercing, doming, drilling and polishing on my
buffing wheel as well as using my tumbler. My favorite tool is my
foredom flexshaft. My most time consuming activity is soldering. I
consider it to be an unpredictable art. I never know when the piece
I am working on is going to solder the way I would like it to or not.
