The time has come to do away with the old to make room for the new so I’m moving my blog over to my new website. Come check me out at Nathaperkins.com!
I began Metalsmithing for the purpose of fulfilling my own need for jewelry. Having spent countless hours dreaming about specific pieces of jewelry that I wished I had but could never find in stores, I decided to try my hand at metal. I fell in love. I have studied many kinds of art and my favorite is the art of adornment. I enjoy creating jewelry that is functional, sculptural and beautiful. My aesthetic favors balance over symmetry, odd numbers over evens and colors over neutrals. Most all of the metal work in my jewelry is hand fabricated, which means it starts out as metal sheets and wires. I pound, pierce, fire, emboss and more to make every piece amazing and unique.
