What media do you work with?
I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and value collaborative efforts. In my spare time (hahaha) I work with every material that's not securely nailed to the floor.

I enjoy a good challenge and absolutely thrive in a crisis situation. Working under full-on pressure is what I love to do. Bring it on!

My inspiration: Architectural photography.

    Hi, Brigitte,

    I was trying to look at the eligibility and additional information site for the Crafthaus Project Grant, but is.gd in the url apparently "uses an unsupported protocol" and I can't get there.  Is there any other address or link by which I could visit that site?

    Thanks very much!

    I do happen to have some news coming.

    On February 24th I will be having my thesis/solo exhibition in Florence, Italy and launching my new website as well.
    It is a body of work that I have been working on for over 2 years called "Farview".

    The exhibition will include a series of brooches in pairs, drawings, installation, and video. If anyone is planning to stop in Florence on their way to Schmuck they are welcome to come on by.

    Location: Chiasso Perduto, Via Coverall 4r, Firenze
    (right behind the church of Santo Spirito)

    Opening: February 24th 6pm ~ with aperitivo
    Also open: February 25th and 26th from 10 am-8 pm
    or by appointment

    Great! Thank you Brigitte ~

  • Ann Thompson

    I hope to post more stuff soon--especially about working with kids.
    Political scene is so upsetting at the moment that it is taking all the air out of the room. I'm trying to focus on local urgent issues in Maine; protecting our immigrants and environment.
    Really enjoy this site. Sorry for the renewal delay!

    Brigitte,

    thank you so much for putting my piece "symbihome" on the Crafthaus masthead!  What a very nice surprise to see it there this morning.  This was a commissioned work for two very dear friends & I know they will be tickled to see it on the website!

    Thanks again,
