Buddy Austin studied art from a young age and discovered that he gravitated towards creating small-scale, meticulously detailed pieces. In 2008, wire wrapping became his artistic medium of choice. In 2010, Buddy attended North Seattle Community College to add to his skillset. He continued to expand his knowledge by attending several courses at the GRS Training Center and the New Approach School. Buddy brings together his expertise in wire wrapping, mineralogy fabrication, stone setting, engraving, casting, and wax carving to create fine jewelry, fashion jewelry, and festival jewelry. He feels very fortunate to say that his passion is also his profession and appreciates the many life experiences that have brought him to this point.

WORK BY BRADLEY REIDER

Diane Scalese has been building and engraving bits, spurs, trophy belt buckles, saddle silver, and jewelry for over 30 years. Scalese has previously held the title of Engraver of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists. Her engraving style is traditional Western bright cut, but she adds techniques such as bulino, flare cut, and many firearms engraving styles for a result that is both traditional and attractively fresh at the same time. This difference helps her students develop and expand their own styles. Diane is passionate about teaching, which her students notice right away. She has taught at the GRS Training Center for over 20 years now.
