KLG Designs

Currently, the metals that I most often use are sterling and fine silver, copper, brass and bronze. I am a self taught artist and I enjoy experimenting with many different tools. I use a variety of hammers to create interesting textures and shapes, as well as using heat to bring out brilliant colors in the metals. I particularly enjoy personalizing my art through custom stamping and design. Each letter is handstamped into the metal with a metal stamp and hammer. Techniques used to make my creations include, but are not limited to; sawing, filing, forming, hammering, stamping, oxidizing, riveting, lashing and soldering.

Most components of my jewelry are handcrafted exclusively by me in my studio. Because of this standard, every piece of my work, even within my production work, will have slight differences that make it truly unique. My most enjoyable moments come from seeing a simple sheet of metal turn into a beautiful creation with depth and personality.
