Artists Statement- Joe Worley



Inspired by the techniques and traditions of the old world master jewelry artisans,



“I hold craftsmanship and integrity of design execution above all else. Applying this ideal to each hand fabricated work of art I create. Each part reflecting a complete synthesis of design, with the unseen areas finished out as painstakingly as the expected surfaces. As a craftsman, I feel it just isn’t done until it is finished.

My love of the process and discovery of shaping precious metal with hand tools is combined with a love of design. Carrying my distinct voice in an era where technology is more common than skill.”
