About

 

Hello - I'm Samantha. I come from a long line of makers who love to work with their hands. My father, both grandfathers and many uncles are all craftsmen and woodworkers. I began making jewelry in 2004, and it quickly grew into a passion. I am mostly self-taught and enjoy sticking with basic methods to create fun and unique pieces. 

When I'm not creating, I love to shop at local markets and support small businesses. For many years, I was on staff with the Artsmiths of Pittsburgh, which solely carried the work of local makers. I'm also a member of the advisory committee for Handmade Arcade, Pittsburgh’s largest independent craft fair. These provide me with the opportunity to support and champion other makers in the Pittsburgh arts community, which I am very passionate about.

I love craft beer, live music, and all things handmade. I reside in the South Hills of the glorious city of Pittsburgh with my wacky husband and adorable son.
