Making Metal Jewelry

So honored to have an article, "Cold-connected Pin Backs", included in Art Jewelry Magazine's special edition Essential Techniques: Making Metal Jewelry!

This mixed metal and Jasper brooch from the Rosewater Collection makes an appearance...

...and so do I! Complete with a shout out to my alma mater, Humboldt State University.

This special issue covers a wide range of techniques including finishing, texturing, piercing, dapping, patinas, etching, findings, cold connections, forging and more. It's packed with projects, great info on tools, and a ton of metalsmithing tips. To get your hands on a copy head over the the Art Jewelry Magazine Website! 

Thanks for reading!
