Handcrafted
Each piece is designed and made entirely by hand in my studio by me, start to finish. This is a true one-woman operation. No assistants, no casting houses, and no mass production.
Every component is cut, formed, soldered, textured, and finished by hand using traditional metalsmithing techniques. Because of this process, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Subtle variations are not flaws but a natural part of handmade work and a mark of its individuality.
The piece you receive is truly one of a kind.
