Introduce yourself
Joy Hockensmith
How did you
get started?
I started making jewelry when I was young. My
Mother had an extensive jewelry collection and would ask me to fix the broken
pieces. Sometimes pieces could not be fixed and that left me with the challenge
of making them into something useful so that they can continue to be enjoyed. I
learned silversmithing at The Art Center.
What are
you up to now?
I just finished a bunch of “love” necklaces for
Vitae’s Valentine’s promotion. I’ll be making polymer flowers to add to pieces
I’ll have for spring.
