Hi Friends, here’s what’s to come this year for metalledwith: -more shows-continuing to accept custom orders (please allow 3-4 weeks)-private lessons -private group workshops-public group workshops!-updated inventory in galleries-maybe I’ll maintain my website and social media pages (you can always reach out via email) One fun recent thing is a redesign of the eastern woodlands […]

It’s the perfect time of year, or at least the favorite for metalledwith. All around, leaf buds welcome new growth. Now is the time for gathering of new spring leaves. It’s also the week of two exhibit openings that we’re participating in, and we’re having our first in person selling event since the beginning of […]

About this time last year, I decided to invest in a kiln. Enamel work is beautiful and versatile. I took a risk and made a purchase before my skill justified it. Time feels funny this year. It’s ten years since I officially began as a business, but it’s not the year to celebrate. I was […]

This project was all about wire-wrapping. Similar to my last post regarding the same medium of resin but executed in a new way, this was not my typical wirework. Wire wrapping can be an entire artist’s work on its own. Wire was my gateway to more traditional metalwork, but this type of wire wrapping had […]

In a recent custom project, I had my first exposure to casting resin. Metalledwith’s botanical line has considered nature the most important material with metal closely following.

This Mothers Day I had two custom orders for pieces that spanned three generations. The first was a bracelet from a daughter to her mother. It was an honor to work on this piece. I keep wanting to find words to describe it and keep coming up short. “Special” doesn’t do it justice. Instead, I’ll […]

Recently, Leslie of l chain maille came to the studio to teach me a process called viking knit–essentially knitting with metal. I had previously admired her work and wanted to learn the process. I’ve been able to teach her a thing or two in soldering, and it is SUCH a beautiful thing when artists (when […]

Fractal burning + glow in the dark + furniture My response to access to all types of information via the internet is generally to ignore it, wing it, and then after the fact realize how things could have been easier. My jewelry is resin work, paired with metal. For a recent gift, I got to […]

These are the last two words my two-year-old son couldn’t pronounce correctly. Every time it came up, I patiently taught him the correct way to say it. We practiced, separated the syllables and said them one by one. My husband would look for excuses to make him say these words, then giggle when he got […]
