Hello and welcome to FletcherWorks, I hope you enjoy what my shop has to offer! I am a St. Louis based metalsmith and freelance jewelry artist. My enthusiasm for metalworking began at Missouri State University where I received my BFA in metals/jewelry in 2003. The metals medium, particularly nonferrous metal, such as silver, gold, copper, and brass, has a variety of characteristics that I find very intriguing. When heated, this material becomes malleable and can be repeatedly manipulated. Despite the strikes and stresses it endures, metal maintains remarkable strength and permanence that can withstand the test of time. I get great satisfaction when I find a home for each creation. Every piece made represents a piece of myself; time invested, with a love for the trade I have given myself to for the last 18 years.
Transforming flat sheets of metal into dimensional forms incorporated with folds and surface texture is a technical challenge I am continually exploring. My creative inspirations are driven by the traditional metalsmithing tools I use and range of applications they have to offer. The styles chosen for each creation differ from one piece to the next; thus no two of my pieces are ever the same and each one as unique as the individual who wears it.
