Hi! My background is in art and music but I didn’t start making
jewelry until after I lost a baby. I needed to focus intently on
something else and, to my surprise, I found it really addictive. I
have been making jewelry for 2 years and selling for 18 months -
mostly wirework to this point but I am starting to get more heavily
into working metal. I would bet I’ll be playing with flame within
another 6 months. The metalsmithing fits me in a way that beading
doesn’t truly. On a personal note, I have 2 living children (ages 6
months and 3 years), a degree in music, grad work in studio art. I
sing professionally for a local church. I’m home with my kids during
the day and I work as a contract administrator at night. There’s
probably a boatload of stuff I’m forgetting… Glad to be here!

Susan G Silvy
Susan Silvy Design
Kansas City, MO. USA
I am a metalsmith, glass bead lampwork artist and also work in
Precious Metal Clay. I was President of the International Society of
Glass Beadmakers from 2002 to 2005. I have had to take a break from
my jewelry business the past three years due to ailing parents and
the necessity for me to take over the management of my fathers
realestate development company. While I have been certified in PMC
for several years I truly only have been experimenting with PMC for
the past year and have been quite pleased with the acceptance of my
new work. As my life settles down, I look forward to returning to
glass beadmaking and integrating glass with metal.
