I absolutely loved this class, and I feel it will help me take my work to a new level and explore new areas of craft. I enjoyed meeting and talking with so many talented artists, including the staff and interns at Metalwerx. I hope to return for a future workshop!
Leah Meleski
Leah Meleski earned her BFA in metals from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. Leah creates wearable jewelry that is inspired by the basic formula that nature grows from. Radiating patterns turn silver into natural, bold, clean lines. Pieces are created through bending and soldering wire into complicated natural forms, some of which are complimented with pieces created through lost wax casting. Several objects have multiple parts that can be assembled into another form such as a teapot and then taken apart for its component parts to be worn as jewelry.
Leah creates her work in her home studio located in Jamaica Plain and works as an art educator in the Wellesley school system. You can find more information about what she is currently working on through her blog at jeweloftheday.blogspot.com and her website leahmeleski.com
