salt circle

in 2014 i began making lost wax cast jewelry under “salt circle”, named for the practice of constructing a protective barrier (a way in which jewelry serves me).

i am primarily self-taught, though i have taken community courses at the Multnomah Arts Center and the Oregon College of Art and Craft, to access metal casting facilities. i’m currently taking a break from this practice, as trying to do it as a means of income burnt me out on it. i do plan to return to it when it feels right, with a focus on making one-of-a-kind pieces.
