Sarah JF McGovern
North Kingstown, RI. USA
I am a graduate of Rhode Island College with a degree in metals and
jewelry. I currently work in banking, but am feeling a strong pull
back to the world of jewelry. I am especially interested in
gemology, and am considering starting the graduate gemologist
program at the Gemological Institute of America. My favorite
techniques are forging, chasing and repousse. Nothing is more
satisfying that watching the metal move and take shape under your
hands.

Marc Adons
Hasselt, Belgium
Marc is a true autodidact with many faces.
Different materials and various techniques are a challenge in
itself. Marc is therefore constantly studying and experimenting to
master these techniques in order to do as much as possible himself.
He finds his inspiration in everything that comes on his path. These
different sources of inspiration lead to an extensive variation in
his work. His work covers a spectrum of large, almost excessive work
to small, highly detailed sculptures. Also in his choice of
divergent materials, Marc likes di fferences: one work is carried out
in bronze, the other in silver or stone.
His work clearly contains Marcs life philosophy : Power, intertwined
with harmony and controversy, suggest a vision in which his personal
impressions shape the entity.
The straight approach of his subjects leads to a warm feeling of
recognition, through which a smile is unavoidable
