Crocheted Wire Ornaments, new limited edition design each year
Sharon Stafford Metals creates contemporary wire basketry and studio jewelry using an eclectic mix of metalsmithing techniques, woven metal, and crocheted wire.
Her work is all about texture – both tactile and visual textures. The feel and visual characteristics of metal textures draw her in – she has to get in closer to examine and touch. Most of Sharon’s work incorporates weaving, crocheting, foldforming, and/or hammering.
