Hi! I’m Laura, I am a jewelry designer and lapidary artist.

Rebecca J Melton
Melton Metals
Portland, OR. USA

Hi there. I’m an artist, intstructor, and Mom living in Portland OR.
I graduated from Oregon College of Art and Craft in '05 and Maryland
Instuitute College of Art in '95. I’ve a pretty well rounded
education in the arts and really enjoy my work.

Currently I teach for a local art community center and find the work
to be really rewarding and challenging. I’ve learned so much from
the experience and it’s certainly informed the way I work and relate
to the people around me.

I work in steel and silver for the most part and have finally
returned to my own studio after taking some time out to raise my
son. I’ve just started working on my jewelry line again and have
work in Portland and Denver. It’s very exciting and very scary but
I’m looking forward to growing!

I’m excited to be on this network and can’t wait to exchange new
ideas!
