Please welcome our newest members!

Erin Metzger
Milwaukee, WI. USA

I’ve worked mainly with polymer clay… but now I want to branch out
into wire wrapping. Wish me luck! :wink:

Karen Sue Stolzenberg
Karen stolzenberg designs
Evanston, IL. USA

I mostly work in enamel and teach full time. Unfortunately, due to
my teaching load I have not had much time to do my personal work,
but am hoping to get more time to do my work this year. I would also
like to get back into showing my work.

Ruth Berenbaum
London, UK

I use the technique of flameworking to make a wide range of objects,
including: jewellery, lighting, vessels and intallations. I have
recently started to incorporate Argentium silver into my jewellery
and so I am keen to learn about metal working techniques.

Emily Alexander
Alexander Silverworks
Raleigh, NC. USA

I’m a silversmith in Raleigh, North Carolina. I specialize in
restoring and repairing silverware (such as flatware, hollowware,
etc). I got my start as a teenager at the Horizons camp near
Northampton, Massachussetts (now called Snow Farm) and later, at the
Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina. My husband,
Chris, worked as a goldsmith for Mary Ann Scherr in the 1990’s. We
share a shop in our house.

making jewellery in Melbourne Australia for nearly 40 years

Ramon A Gonzalez
Chicago, Illinois. USA

My name is Ramon, originally from Venezuela and live in Chicago. I
learned to work with sterling silver some years ago. I was looking to
take pottery classes and ended up taking jewelry classes at a local
art center. I haven’t practice in a regular basis, but I’m back on
track once more. I love designing bold pieces and mostly with an
industrial look, necklaces and earings mainly. I love soldering, but
mostly work cold conections; it has made me more creative since I
can’t solder at home. I’m dedicated to jewelry less than part time
since I work full time and go to college. I will inmerse myself in
this beautiful world of jewelry fultime someday, not to far.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep learning and hope to get support through this
community and if I can help anyone solve a problem or answer any
question I know, I’ll be more than happy to.
