Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Wanesia Spry

My work focuses around an Annishinabae context into metalsmithing, I use hand fabrication, cuttlebone casting, tufa casting, stone setting, wire making, complex soldering applications, lapidary work, hydraulic press, enameling, pearl setting. I also use sustainable and ethically sourced material such as birchbark harvested from my homeland in Minnesota, quillwork specifically porcupine quill work engraving, as goldsmithing along with stamp making, stamping dooming and shaping, chain making, and repouse techniques.
