I have had many inquiries regarding teaching my technique. So, I have been seriously putting pen to paper and figuring out how I can do a workshop given the amount of equipment, supplies and time it requires. If you are interested please let me know.

That’s all for now.

Cheers,

Ivy

My work is a gathering of techniques that honor past metal artisans while exploring a new material and stretching another.

With traditional metalsmith techniques I fabricate a framework that will contain an image or message and evoke a feeling.

A relatively new material, metal clay, allows me to capture and combine antique images with other found or created textures.

The transparent colors and clear epoxy resin fill in the framework and cover these images.

The light reflects, the clear window reveals and the eye is drawn into wonder.
