Podcasts about silversmithing

In this episode, we discuss the responsibility artists feel to give back through their work after being influenced by others. We share stories of stepping outside our comfort zones—including a chance encounter with a silversmith in Badlands National Park—and how these experiences fuel creativity. We explore the tension between control and surrender in the creative process and examine why modern comforts often distance us from making meaningful work.We look at what makes creative output timeless and how to connect with deeper truths in our art. Drawing from road trips, travel literature, and photography experiences, we consider the difference between talking about creating versus actually creating something authentic. The conversation challenges us to move beyond comfortable routines and safe creative choices to produce work that resonates on a deeper level and contributes something valuable to the ongoing creative dialogue. - Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Join Wendy in Charante Maritime August 23rd-30th, 2025. Get all the details here!Jessica Hickman-Woolcott didn't have a grand plan when she moved from the UK to France—just a feeling that it was the right move. She fell in love with a centuries-old château, took a leap without knowing exactly how it would all work out, and along the way, opened the Cognac Jewellery School on her property. In this episode, she and Wendy talk about what happens when you trust your instincts, throw logic out the window, and say yes to something that excites you—even if it doesn't make perfect sense on paper. They also dive into the slower, more intentional way of life in Charante Maritime and what it feels like to truly settle into the present moment. Plus, Jessica shares a sneak peek into the hands-on jewelry-making experience she'll be leading as part of Wendy's hosted trip to France this August—an opportunity for anyone ready to say yes to adventure. If you've ever felt the pull to shake things up and follow your heart, this conversation is the reminder that you don't need a perfect roadmap—just the courage to take the first step.About Jessica:Jessica has over ten years experience designing, making, and teaching Jewellry and Silversmithing, using traditional and modern techniques. She learned her craft at the Kingham Jewellery School in Oxfordshire, England, and then at the historic Guild of Handicraft in Chipping Campden. With four years of dedicated training, Jessica honed a wide variety of metal-working skills creating both intricate jewellery and large-scale silverware, including designing and creating commissions for prominent figures. Her journey led her back to the Kinghham Jewellery School as a tutor, where she taught and shared her silversmithing skills while simultaneously launching her own award-winning jewellery brand. Now living in the heart of the Cognac Region of France at the Château de Puyguiller, Jessica continues to share her knowledge and creativity as the founder of the Cognac Jewellery School, established in 2022. Connect with Jessica:On Instagram @cognac_jewellery_schoolOn FacebookOn YouTubeCognacJewellerySchool.com________________________________________________________________________________________ Say YES to joining Wendy for her: Say YES Sisterhood PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated France TripsInstagram: @phineaswrighthouseFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright HousePodcast Production By Resonant Collective Want to start your own podcast?

This week Margo and her sister play a bit of a role reversal and Margo is interviewed In the Windowsill!

She also discusses her love of music, the personal growth she's experienced over the past year, and her current pursuits in silversmithing and jewelry making. With the help of Shelley, Margo explores her insights on reinvention, self-reflection, and her plans for 2024.   Mentioned in this episode: Lynn Whipple's 100 Bad Paintings Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding by Jennifer Robson   Connect with Margo: www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill See full show notes at www.windowsillchats.com/podcast

A thousand facets sits with Shivani Chorwadia to talk about her British/Indian roots, the inspiration her cultural background plays in her work and just their affinity for all things beautiful! “ADORNING BODIES WITH OBJECTS CREATED USING OUR HANDS; ROOTED IN IDENTITY, SELF-EXPRESSION AND CONNECTION. THIS IS WHAT JEWELLERY MEANS TO ME.” With a curiosity to explore dualities existing within contemporary visual culture, traditional artisanship + technical innovation, Shivani Chorwadia creates sculptural fine jewellery expressing the tension between a modern minimalist aesthetic and the richness found in her British Indian bicultural heritage. She is pushed by a desire to uncover what lies at the boundaries where the classic and unorthodox meet.  Shivani established her studio practice in 2007 after graduating with a degree in Silversmithing.  By merging precision hand metalworking skills with the utility of technology, the studio explores challenging questions within the space of luxury, sustainable production and ethical consumption; as it relates to a wider global context.   “My mission is to make jewellery that breathes creativity and a celebration of ourselves into the everyday ritual of dressing our bodies.”  You can follow Shivani Chorwadia on Instagram @shivanichorwadia and visit her website https://www.shivanichorwadia.com/ Please visit @athousandfacets on Instagram to see some of the work discussed in this episode.

I had Jared Chavez on the podcast a silversmith I carry and a person that I really respect as an artist. His father San Felipe silversmith Richard Chavez who I started buying his work 20 years ago whose work graces numerous museum collections. Father and son have done collaborative work but their styles are different and very unique. Jared experienced an interesting upbringing in that he's a San Felipe kid that ends up going to Georgetown for his undergraduate BFA, later working in San Francisco learning new jewelry techniques. Jared has brought all of this together, his education, work experience, heritage, to form his own unique aesthetic. We talk about his art and about how he got where he is today, and of course about his famous father that recently had a major retrospective at the Heard Museum. This podcast is for anyone that likes Native American jewelry or likes to see how a person can succeed and become a well-known jewelry artist. I don't think Jared would think of himself as famous, but in my eyes, he fits the description of success at a high level. He's part of a new generation of New Mexico artists and I'm excited to see what's in store for Jared's bright future.

Today we interview Misty Farnsworth, an incredible Silversmithing artist from Arizona. We discuss everything from how she got her start in creating jewelry to her "why" for staying in the industry. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breakingwestern/support
