Orchid Presents: Joanna Gollberg   Email the Artist
   

My work is based on how materials and tools work together to help me design: what the metal can do...how I can fit different shapes together. I am interested in repetitive elements, in movement, and pushing the boundaries of what might be called traditional jewelry, while keeping the work extremely wearable and functional. Basically, I love to make wearable pieces out of metal. It is what pays the bills, but also what makes me happy.

I also supplement my income by teaching workshops at places such as Arrowmont School of crafts, John C Campbell folk school, and pen land school of crafts. I have written 3 books on how to make jewelry: Making Metal Jewelry, a book all about cold connections, Creative Metal Crafts, a book on making functional items out of metal for your home, and The Art and Craft of Making Jewelry, a book that covers a bunch of metal working techniques in how-to format in addition to having a really great full color artist gallery.
