Milford Calamity is a self-taught Navajo silversmith who works with sterling silver, copper, gold, turquoise as well as a variety of exotic stones. He loves to exaggerate shapes, textures and colors in his work. He takes pride in incorporating contemporary art with traditional Navajo silversmith techniques. Between traditional sand-casting and silver wire fabricating, Milford aims to bring a fresh new look to the Indigenous jewelry market. He brings an exotic approach to metal work as he utilizes various techniques he’s learned over the years. His work is associated with words like edgy, different, creative, bold, vibrant and of course fresh. His motivation and determination extends beyond any imaginary threshold.
