Coolidge Corner Arts Festival this Saturday!

I'll be doing the Coolidge Corner Arts Festival this Saturday, June 6 from 10am-6pm. I'm really looking forward to it - it's a well known and tightly juried show with some of the best artists and artisans of the area.

A word about the work

I fabricate all work in my Boston studio, working primarily in polymer, a synthetic low fire clay that is remarkably versatile and colorful. My work incorporates a variety of mixed media surface techniques, including alcohol inks, acrylic paint, silk screening and image transfers. I complement the polymer with hand forged silver, copper and bronze that add dimension and textural contrast to my pieces.

Stonehouse Studio jewelry has a serene feel, achieving a zen-like balance of pattern, color and shape. The distinct asymmetric, organic pieces are simple, elegant and very wearable.
