Wearable Sculpture
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: 2016/04 - April
Elizabeth Haskins is a classic silversmith.
Even though she was steeped in the arts as a child, she didn’t latch onto her true medium until college. At the insistence of a professor she took a jewelry-making class. It was love at first strike.
“It was a challenge, but I loved the aspect of building small sculptures, using torches and hammers,” Elizabeth says.
She began with a silver goblet, which progressed to repoussé silver trays, bowls, ladles, and traditional serving ware. Over the years, cultural shifts place less value on ceremonial silverware and more emphasis on simplicity. She followed that trend and now her work focuses on traditional and abstract jewelry that accessorizes anything from casual to formal. Knowing how to go with the 3 Ws (What Women Want) is the key to her success.
Now you can experience her latest line of exquisite, affordable adornments, each one a personal expression of love. Her loyal customers are drawn to the passion with which she imbues each creation.
