Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Mary Helen Brown

I am learning the craft of silversmithing. I work with silver, brass, and copper. I like to stamp and use tuffa casting. I also make my beads; this year, I even made my beads two-sided, with copper on one side and silver on the other. I am learning how to set and inlay stones. I continue to paint as well. I work in acrylics.
