History in the Making

LAUREN BLAIS
"The objects that I make are inspired by my past and historical references. Developed in the tradition and styles of the Victorian Era my jewelry focuses on ornamentation, symbolism and sentiment of my life. I predominately create these pieces by using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as lost wax casting, fabricating and enameling. These age-old traditions are linked back to the historical time periods that highly influence the conceptual aspects of my work."

KATIE RAY ARTS

"I am a visual artist, sculptor, creator whose inspirations lie largely in the natural world, bodies and peoples’ stories and struggles. My media of choice are metal and glass, though I enjoy experimenting with others. With metal, I work expressively and intensely, creating a multitude of potential experiences for the viewer. It is often intimate, pulling in to it at the same time that it pushes us away."

- Katie Richardson
