Galiella Enamellum: New Work by Sarah Perkins
“I am enjoying working in jewelry again after many years of bowls and vessels. I like the small scale, working with jewelry forms that work with the body while being very three dimensional.”
-Sarah Perkins

The cup shaped forms in this series are based on the Hairy Mushroom Cup that grows in the midwest (left).Considered one of the best enamelists in the country, Sarah Perkins continues to amaze viewers with her superb forms, brilliant colors and stylistic surprises which include stitched seams, gemstones and unusual textures. With great technical skills, Perkins raises the silver or copper forms which then serve as a canvas (inside and out) for the extraordinary painterly surfaces she creates.Recently named the 2019 Master Metalsmith, Perkins was honored with an exhibition of her work at the Metal Museum in Memphis Tennessee, October 2019 thru March 2020.
