Brenda Branson

I grew up among the cotton fields and tobacco farms in North Carolina, with parents that were artistic in a survivalist sort of way. Having grown up in a “mill town” with cotton farmers and mill workers, the artistic use of cotton and scrap metals in art and jewelry has special meaning. Eight years ago, I began making and selling various styles of beaded jewelry, accented with hand forged components.

My art jewelry experience began as a thrilling diversion to explore various jewelry techniques such as silver-smithing, kumihimo weaving, enameling, fold forming, metal clay, polymer clay, cold connections, etc., which have since found themselves meshed together in eclectic, harmonious designs.

Just over a year ago, I discovered the gratifying experience with metal clay. While I often have pet projects that must be made in fine silver, my preference is bronze clay. I love the organic and primitive finish you can easily get with bronze, yet it is easily transformed into a shiny, polished look.
