    Today is a sad day for me and for the metalsmithing field. My
    friend, colleague and faculty of Metalwerx was killed at 1:30am
    driving her truck on her way home. She fell asleep at the wheel and
    crashed. I'm saddened that this young woman at 31 no longer has a
    life of metalsmithing and art. We were school friends at Mass College
    of Art. 

    For those of you who drive late at night and are tired when you get
    behind the wheel...don't. And remember, buckle up. 

    Sarahanne, we will miss you. 

          Sarahanne has been admiring and making jewelry ever since she
          got her ears pierced at age 6, making adornments out of
          anything she could possibly find. She began as a student in
          the arts in 1994, at U-Mass Dartmouth, where she studied
          ceramics, jewelry, and metalsmithing, earning her BFA in 1998.
          Just after, she obtained a Masters degree from Massachusetts
          College of Art, in Boston, adding sculpture, welding, glass,
          and performance to her interests and skills in the arts. After
          finishing her masters, she has studied metalworking in
          Ravenstien, The Netherlands, at the Opere International
          Jewellry School, Peters Valley, New England School of
          Metalwork, Metals Edge, Metalwerx, DeCordova Museum, Fuller
          Craft Museum, and at J.Fred Woell Studios. Through school she
          worked as a garden designer and landscaper, collecting insects
          and spent dead heads to inspire and or the become part of her
          work. Since graduating, she has been teaching art classes to
          adults and children around the U.S. at schools like DeCordova
          Museum, Mass. College of Art, Fuller Craft Museum, Metals
          Edge, Sharon Arts Center, Lexington Arts and Crafts Metal
          Workers Guild, as well as instructing private lessons in her
          studio. One very exciting project she had the opportunity to
          work on was a Discovery Channel Documentary called Machines
          Lost in Time, where she helped to recreate one of the first
          submarines known to man. She believes that any medium or
          process can offer information and ideas for another. From
          skydiving to cooking, she draws inspiration from everything
          life has to offer.
