New Jewelry at the Gallery

We hope you are enjoying the last glorious days of summer! The Gallery has been hopping and we have enjoyed meeting many new customers from around the globe as they explore Skaneateles. If you haven't been in to see Kathy Schneider's new paintings, the show is still up through the end of August.

I wanted to introduce a couple of the new jewelry artists who have joined the Gallery. Judy Witkin joined us a few months ago and has continued to amaze us with her fine beadweaving techniques. In her own words, "Beads are seductive, ancient and universal expressions of beauty, spirituality and mystery. When beads talk to me their color and form take my beadweaving to endlessly creative places."  Judy combines her beadweaving with natural stones and precious metal clay.  The piece below is titled "Wolf Woman".



Another jewelry artist who joined us this summer is MaryAnn Carroll.  MaryAnn creates jewelry using her own handcrafted ceramic beads and hand-forged findings.  Her work has a unique natural quality with a beautiful earthy palette.  Below are examples of her earrings and a bracelet.  Stop by the gallery to see the full collection!
