You have a niche of creativity within you, so be inspired by others but always try to make items all your own. Learn, try, fail, and smile!
What are your goals/dream projects? For my work I hope to launch curated themed collections a few times a year keeping the items meaningful and unique. For Be A Maker School my ultimate goal is for it to be the place for people to learn any of the Western trades, from silverwork to leather, photography to cinch making, and all the areas in between. Where do you see the future of jewelry and hand engraving? I see the industry wide open, I think more and more people will become involved because it is welcomed to put your own spin on styles. I see a melding of design styles and mediums. And I really see a shift back to a value put on handmade items. If you could pass one bit of advice on to other artists, what would it be? Be your OWN Maker! You have a niche of creativity within you, so be inspired by others but always try to make items all your own. Learn, try, fail, and smile! Is there anything else that you would like to share? I am so thankful for the opportunity to teach at GRS because getting to build community with other MAKERS is what it’s all about!
