- Santa Fe Silverworks is a collection of beautiful, unique and exquisitely handcrafted sterling silver jewelry pieces created by Santa Fe, New Mexico native and Award Winning Silversmith Gregory Segura. Being mostly self taught, Gregory began designing jewelry in silver 20 years ago and has continued to perfect his skills over the years. Inspired by all the beauty that the Southwest has to offer, and a great admirer of master silversmiths from New Mexico's past, Gregory's work reflects his Spanish and Native American heritage. A bit of a restless soul, or maybe because he is a Gemini, Gregory's jewelry offers a wide range of diverse designs from traditional to contemporary.
All of Gregory's jewelry designs are original handmade sterling silver pieces. Many are one-of-a-kind works of art and most of his intricately stamped designs are truly unique, with no two identical. He uses the heaviest gauge of silver possible to craft his pieces giving them a substantial feel and the assurance of the highest quality available.
"From the first time I started working with silver it just came natural to me. Designs came easy and manipulating the silver to execute my ideas just made sense. Turquoise has always been my favorite stone to use because of the varied hues of blue to green, often with unique matrix lines. Combine that with silver and beautiful jewelry is the result and reward."

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient
For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

Hello Gregory,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for fine craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through April 15, 2012.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website editor are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect! :-)
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime, I will do my best to be of help.
I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin
Crafthaus Editor
