Summer 2014

Greetings!

Things are heating up at SilverWorks as we enter the summer months. New studio hours, a new all-day workshop and a few new faces is what you will find in the studio.

New Open Studio Hours
M-Su 10-6

Starting June 15th Open Studio hours will be available 7 days a week from 10 am until 6pm when there is no class in session. Always check the calendar to reserve your time, and always book at least a day in advance.

Feature Artist: Elaine Speiser

Elaine Speiser took a beginning class at SilverWorks and immediately took to the craft. Within a year she had set up a studio, created her own line of jewelry and began to sell her art online as the Silver Contessa. With a clean style and an unwavering attention to detail her work exemplifies great design and wearability. You can purchase her work here.

So Proud of Our
Jr Artists

If you have spent anytime at all in Open Studio you are bound to have run into at least one of these amazing young people. This last year Kaila Hill, David Sullivan, and Tessa Berry spent countless hours in the studio helping out, taking workshops, mounting the show, and expanding their portfolios.

They all got their fat envelopes and are off to college. Although we are sad to see them go we congratulate them on this amazing accomplishment.

Kaila Hill to Colorado College,
Tessa Berry to Ringling College of Art and Design,
David Sullivan to Rhode Island School of Design.
