Regarding these Boston made Gua Sha tools, the one thing I quite love about being a stone setting, goldsmithing jeweler, with ceramic chemistry knowledge... is that I can talk about stone porosity as it relates to jade versus the historical porcelain testing quality.
With a sweet little swoosh of shine in a gold leaf style. The bottom texture is given a shell finish, while the interior is glossy and smooth. So minimal, so tiny. Just sweet! See it here.
I'm constantly in Excel calculating my glazes to look a very specific way, and have to say, my nerdy creativity is my happy place. It also takes me a while to choose. So! I'm finally ready to share a glaze I worked on three years ago, and a new glaze I perfected over this summer. Bring on the satin-matte classiness for your Fall/Winter 2024.
A few weeks ago, I started offering Metalsmithing Workshops in our SoWa Boston studio, right in the South End of Boston. It was such a sweet and peaceful launch. I felt lucky that it went over quietly, as I got to work one-on-one in some private sessions. Usually the classes are kept to four, but I have to say, it was really lovely to get a chance to share my work and my methods in what turned out to be a private lesson of a session! See what workshop are currently available, here.
