Description
The New Silversmith presents author and jewelry artist Nicole Ringgold’s innovative, zero-waste techniques for hand fabricating nature-inspired jewelry pieces from sterling silver.
Nicole Ringgold is a silversmith living in Winthrop, Washington, located in the North Cascade mountains. Her art is inspired by her natural surroundings: plants she encounters while hiking through the mountains, the shapes of rocks she plucks from a river, a sound, glimpse, or smell. Her botanical jewelry is hand fabricated, starting with silver sheets and wire, with every piece sawed, soldered, filed, textured, formed, oxidized, and polished. Her intention is to recreate natural forms in silver with as much detail as possible, with the goal of making the metal appear alive. She teaches silversmithing workshops in her home studio and around the world. For more about Nicole’s work, workshops, and tutorials, visit nicoleringgold.com and @ringgoldnicole on Instagram.
"Winsome... Ringgold’s intricate designs impress, and she doles out plenty of helpful tips... Seasoned metalworkers will want to take note."
"This is a good addition for libraries that support jewelry making or metalsmithing programs."
"A must for the novice and with a great deal of value for even the more experienced jewelry maker."
