When I was a small child I was attracted to tools. That has never stopped.
I love the process of creating something . Being in the zone watching a piece come alive on my bench.
I have been designing and fabricating jewelry for over forty years. At first, I learned from jobs I had in workshops and working on my own. Later I had classes in jewelry at university and then at an intensive two-year program for bench jewelers.
I am motivated by the enticing history of Spanish and Native Silver work
here in New Mexico as well as modern contemporary styles. I find design ideas in architecture, nature , or just by playing with the materials I use. I play with Silver, Gold, Copper, and semi-precious stones arranging and rearranging patterns and seeing what item can emerge at my bench. I love to mix the metals together on a piece to highlight a design aspect.
I also welcome custom design work.
I welcome you to view the work as I add items to my shop.
Thanks, Paul Michael Walsh
