Anchor2Meet Shane Hendren, Guest Artist this Thurday and Friday, December 12 and December 13

We are very excited to present a Solo Show with Navajo jewelry master Shane Hendren, who will join us on Thursday and Friday, December 12th and 13th from noon - 4:00pm each day. Shane is a master jeweler in a variety of metalsmithing techniques and is an artist who transfers his philosophy and his design visions into striking, wearable works of art. 

  

 

 

Shane is most known for using marriage of metals and mokume-gane, techniques that blend and fuse metals together, at times creating patterns reminiscent of earth elements. He sometimes combines these techniques with others such as overlay, engraving and tufa casting, often accented with settings of natural turquoise/stones.

 

Winning awards for his work from numerous organizations/artist competitions, Shane has also been involved as an active role model for artists and the arts community by serving in leadership positions and donating his time and expertise. This recent video and interview  

produced by the Saul Bell Group shows Shane in his workshop studio; the video explores his evolution as a silversmith, in addition to showing some of the techniques he uses and sharing his philosophy as an artist. You can also listen to Shane during a past ICS interview as he explains what he hopes to bring to people through his jewelry.

 

Shane creates a wide range of jewelry including earrings, pins, bracelets, buckles, neckware and more. We can't wait to see his latest jewelry creations and are honored to offer the opportunity to you as well.
