Teenya Barnard I am a silversmith because I have a deep and true respect for the many steps of the process. I am on a never ending quest to challenge myself to learn more and to become a better me as a human and a silversmith.

Diana Casabar I am a silversmith because I am passionate about connecting us all with the beauty of the Earth.

Danya De León I tune in to my intuition and knowing..If I listen the metal communicates. Subtlety telling me what it will become.  I have to listen to create

Lori Fisher The full story of the pieces I create lies in the life of its maker, its wearer, the one who admires it and the one who takes it home. In my pieces are stories, inspiration, energy, hope and love. They may last a lifetime or many lifetimes. I'm honored by all the admirers and the wearers.

Diane Johnson Being a silversmith is a creative process that inspires me to create wearable art for women that appreciate the handmade jewelry process.

Jennifer Racette I am a rockhound at heart, and I coax raw metals into warm, smooth shapes which highlight the beauty of natural gemstones.

Alejandro Sifuentes I am a jeweler because jewelry is unique in its ability to become an extension of someone who wears it. I am a metalsmith because I am deeply fascinated by the life cycle of metal, gold in particular. I have always had an affinity with fire and I purposefully use techniques mined from tradition. I carve, cast, forge, fabricate and stone set all of my designs.
