Keeper of Gems

Michelle Allen

All your gems and jewels will find a place to rest in the grasp of this functional and curious piece of art. A provided structure will be the springboard to exploring an infusion of mixed media including sculpting materials, bits of metal, wire mesh, fabric and lots of paint. With a little guidance, just enough boundary and a few new techniques, you will walk away with a completed piece of art and a fun way to display all your favorite jewelry. This workshop is suitable for all levels.

I have never found anything completely flawless in this life and yet there is beauty everywhere I turn. I love the imperfect, slightly eccentric, witty quality of the world I see around me. It’s the unpredictability of even the most mundane things that I try to recreate in my art. Often, if something seems too perfect, I will skew it towards the unrealistic to capture the essence of a whim. Although the pieces I design are practical, my hope is that my art will never become so serious that I betray the uniqueness that inspires me.
