I’m a painter/printer/metalsmith who alternates between disciplines
all the time. I have an MFA in painting from Cranbrook but started
serious printmaking shortly after graduation. Apprenticed for a year
to a jeweler in Oaxaca, Mexico and did only jewelry for 7 years.
TIme out to earn a living and start painting and printing and
exhibiting again. Still happy doing this mix after forty years.

I am one of those really annoying self-trained, half trained people
who are forever asking questions. I have had some of the worst
“formal” training on the planet, and some of the best workshops
imaginable. I have most of the equipment to manufacture any design I
can come up with, and am slowly gaining the skills and confidence to
do so.

My interest lies primarily with ancient design forms, as I am a
member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a historical
recreation group that studies the history, arts and sciences of the
Middle Ages in Europe.

HI- I am a metalsmith who has apprenticed with numerous artisan
jewelers and am now taking the plunge, so to speak, in my own
professional direction. I love this forum- I have been eavesdropping
for quite awhile and I am just so thrilled to be able to communicate
with creative like minds. Does an yone happen to have a reliable
source for Psilomelane cabochon stones? Your help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks Adriane
