The Blacksmith Jeweller-Mixed Media Artist
Ken & Silvia McIntosh
Blacksmithing came from a time when hand craftsmanship was all there was. Metal, Stone and Glass workers helped to improve our quality of life. We try to honour that history when creating “one of a kind” pieces of jewellery.
Experimenting and learning as tools and materials develop has allowed us to combine metal, glass and stone in our work. Casting and forging metals, cold working or hot sculpturing of glass, faceting gemstones or shaping and polishing semi precious stones are often combined in a finished piece.
Our desire is to create jewellery that will last a lifetime and give the owner a sense of well being, wearing something they will enjoy. We like to think of our jewellery as Wearable Art.
