Qween City is thrilled to be highlighting the city & region’s myriad artisan makers this holiday season. If you would like to be highlighted in the Craftiste directory, please shoot an email to [email protected].
How long have you been an artisan & business owner in Buffalo?
2 years
Where are you located in the city / region?
I live in Grand Island and work downtown.
Please describe your work / product; if applicable, please include your artist / personal statement or mission.
I use powdered glass to make designs and colors on copper, then I fire them in a kiln at 1500 degrees. I incorporate the finished pieces to create one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Sometimes I use multiple layers in order to achieve the look I want. There are so many different techniques that each piece is one-of-a-kind. I tend to draw inspiration from nature and architecture incorporating unique color combinations and designs. I always welcome special orders!
Who are some of your favorite artisans / makers in the region?
In the enameling medium, Shaun at Road Kiln does beautiful work! Other than that, Mealy Monster Land, Shauna Walsh Bogdan, Ashley Johnson, Eric Nelson, Davoria Jewelry, Over the Buffalo Moon…there are so many!
