Guild member since 2011
Laura lives on 11 acres filled with creeks, trees, meadows, and God’s furry creatures. She finds even more inspiration in antique laces and pieces of potpourri, making molds of interesting objects, textures, antique buttons, medals and crosses, and incorporating them into her jewelry designs. She never duplicates her work, using the elements differently in each piece. A precious metal clay kiln or torch is used to fire her PMC pieces and she prefers the natural patina of silver. She shares her knowledge through local collage enrichment programs.
