Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Richard Aguilar

Materials - ironwood, stabilized Kingman turquoise, pipestone, coral, black jet, and olive shell. Technique - All materials are sliced and cut into squares. I drill each square and string it on a wire. Then it's grind to size, sanded, and polished. It's restrung on nylon string and finished with hand-made sterling silver cones and findings.
