The Houses Hurried Along
$375About the Item
Teresa Kiplinger's "Tiny Catastrophe" collection is a limited series of modern memento mori pieces that explore the fragility of existence and our desire to prevent, explain, and control the uncontrollable.

This ring features sterling silver, vitreous enamel, and an original micro-poem etched on the ring band. The ring was hand painted, torch fired, etched, and hand fabricated.
The ring's face measures approximately 1" in diameter. Size 7.

Forged Bronze Serving Utensils
$385About the Item
These serving utensils were forged from solid bronze and are finished with natural beeswax and oil. Each utensil measures approximately 10" long.
About the Artist
"As a blacksmith, I work with metals at temperatures that render them soft, malleable and plastic. I use simple hand tools - hammer and anvil - that haven't changed substantially for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Thus, the challenge I face daily in my studio is to create something new out of the old. This can be literal - re-using salvaged materials, for instance, or it can be figurative - a recombination of old techniques, creating new and original forms. The constant thread in my work is always the clear expression of the forging process used to transform raw, untouched material into a fully realized, finished piece."

About the Artist
Anna Johnson is a studio artist, craftswomen and educator residing in Asheville, NC. At a very young age she stumbled upon jewelry making and from then on it became not only her creative outlet, but a space of untampered personal expression that guided her through her educational, professional, and personal development. Equally taken by the depths of the natural world, organic elements began to be her main source of inspiration as her language in jewelry developed.
Today her work revolves around the question of where and why our culture perceives value by creating jewelry - often used to display worth, lineage, cultural hierarchy, believe affiliations, etc - with raw elements from directly from the natural world, unique and unpretentiously beautiful, in efforts of providing a fresh line of visual communication, a display of acknowledgment, consciousness, and in alliance with our natural world.
