Stillwater Arts Festival 2023

Ames, IA
Dank Artistry resurrects antique silverware and holloware; lost and forgotten in dark and dingy basements into wearable works of art. I reincarnate these antiques into jewelry and sculptures. I tarnish, polish, sand, cut, bend, shape, solder, braze, weld, anneal, forge, texture, and bend metal. These beautiful pieces are upcycled with the utmost of care into rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, earrings, wind chimes, butterflies, dragonflies, and floral motifs. I am preserving history through re-purposing.
