Amy’s first metal smithing class was twenty years ago as a freshman in high school, and although she’s delved into many media since then, she still loves metal. Her work is influenced by her time at the Penland School and her studies in glassblowing, fibers, metals, bookmaking, painting, and clay. She’s been fascinated with silver clay, or PMC, as of late. It has all the sensuality of soft, pliable clay, yet the satisfying glow and permanence of metal. Metal clay also allows her to combine her fascination with textures and her love of the temporality of the natural world and history. She translates these ideas into lasting treasures. Making beautiful, unique art-to-wear is Amy’s passion, and she feels grateful to be able to do what she loves. When not crafting, Amy can be found obsessing over music, doing yoga and massage, rambling in the woods with her little girl, collecting stones from creeks, and plotting her next craft project.
She makes all of her clasps and earwires by hand from sterling silver, unless otherwise specified.
