Alexandra Hopp has the combination of a fine arts background alongside the rigorous training of a traditional goldsmith. She has been making jewelry for over 25 years. Alexandra started her jewelry education at the age of 13. She received her MFA in Jewelry and Metalwork from San Diego State University and her BFA in Jewelry and Light Metals from Rhode Island School of Design. Hopp’s long career as a jeweler evolved into her current art practice focusing on exhibition work. Her work was recognized with Windgate Scholarships in 2010 and 2011, and the Marzee Graduation Prize in 2013. Hopp is influenced by the history, traditions, and techniques of the goldsmith; her most recent body of work explores how Obsessive Compulsive Disorder relates to the identity and practices of that profession. Her work has been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally, and is in the collection of the CODA Museum in the Netherlands.

Here and There, Slate, wood, copper, steel, silver, 2015.

Tova Lund is best known for her jewelry and objects that combine articulately fabricated metal components with the raw materiality of found, natural objects. Her work ranges from intimately scaled jewelry to larger-scaled conceptual sculpture, and includes objects that reference use and utility. While her work explores variety in its form, all of these avenues lead to questions about the relationship of our bodies to our surroundings. Lund grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but currently resides in northern California and teaches at College of the Redwoods. She has presented at the SNAG conference, the Findings symposium, and has been included in publications such as, American Craft and Metalsmith magazines. A recent artist residency at NES in Skagaströnd, Iceland continues to push her work in new directions.
