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!
Brigitte, I really appreciate the warm welcome to Crafthaus. My joining has been long overdue and I certainly look forward to expanding my community here!
Thanks so much Brigitte for welcoming me. It was wonderful meeting you at the SNAG conference in Minneapolis. I am very pleased to be a part of this vibrant and accomplished community.
It was so nice meeting you at SNAG booth, SOFA Chicago and I had a great time talking to you about being an artist from a foreign country. I really enjoyed volunteering for SNAG. Thank you for your encouragement.
Thanks for welcoming me. I truly enjoyed meeting you at the ECU Metals Symposium this year. It is a thrill to become a part of the Crafthaus community.
Thanks Bridgette! I am so glad to be part of this! I spend a lot of time alone and feel grateful for the opportunity to be part of a community. Looking forward to sharing with other members and seeing their work. Cheers!
Thank you for such a kind and warm welcome Brigitte! I'm excited to be a part of the Crafthaus community. Looking forward to seeing what other artisans are working on, and to being part of the conversations.
Sincerely,
Deborah
Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to getting involved and checking what is happening in your part of the world. I will probably head to the US in the middle of the year so the website will be a good guide for me. Regards, Helen
I am very happy that I am among you and look forward to other authors. I am now ten days away from home, pictures of my jewelry I carefully prepare after my return. Thank you very much for the kind and generous welcome
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?
Thank you for the welcome Brigitte ~ 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

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!
