In my random and rare posts here I don’t think I’ve explained that I’m in graduate school! I’m an MFA candidate in Metal at SUNY New Paltz.

The program is excellent. I’m learning skills and techniques, studying art history and the contemporary art world, engaging in personal research and self-directed making, and connecting with my colleagues and the wider metalsmithing community. It’s intense and challenging and I absolutely love it. After 20+ years of making my living as a jeweler, I’m taking as much advantage as I can of this opportunity to explore new ideas and ways of working without worrying about successful outcomes. I’m making both jewelry and sculptural objects, some of them pretty strange! 😜

I don’t know what I’ll be making when I come out the other side, but I’m hopeful that it’ll be different and exciting. For now I thought I’d share a few snapshots from life in the studio over the last year.

Last day to see the Mineral Minded show in Tucson, including my Flower Cuff. Wish I was there and not deep in the snow today ⛄️

Local friends, come see what my talented classmates and I have been making this semester!

ACQUIRED TASTES is a sustainability project, an exhibition and fundraiser for student scholarships and Radical Jewelry Makeover, an international community jewelry mining and recycling project focused on education and collaboration. This Fall, SUNY New Paltz Metal engaged the project! We received over 250 lbs of donated jewelry, which we photographed, examined, and sorted into categories based upon its material composition with the leadership of Radical Jewelry Makeover directors and .

Students, local alumni, and faculty have been working away on designing a range of works that respond to these materials and some of your stories. Students are recycling and melting down silver into ingots to process new material and are deconstructing and remaking components with fresh perspective, while learning about all the materials and techniques used in the jewelry industry. Please view the exhibition, purchase some unique takes created from these donations, support students, and follow along: on instagram , and newpaltzmetal.com/rjm
