Suzanne Q Evon ~ Featured Jewelry Artist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cedar Creek has just received an amazing assortment of jewelry from Asheville artist Suzanne Q Evon. Her current collections combine both gold and silver with an emphasis on texture and custom-cut stones. Inspired by her love for ancient metalwork and architecture, she has been studying with a master metalsmith for nearly two decades.
Suzanne discovered that incorporating a variety of methods creates a richness in surface textures that gives her pieces a timeless quality. In her recent body of work, she uses numerous techniques including fabrication, granulation, acid etching, reticulation & casting of gold, silver, and argentium.
Suzanne's work is represented by fine jewelry stores and galleries around the world.

Suzanne likes to say “I’m the most famous jeweler you’ve never heard of!” But if she looks familiar, there's a very good reason for that. Click here to see why you recognize Suzanne Q Evon!

Congratulations to Cedar Creek Gallery artist Jennifer Stas, who was recently awarded Best of Show: Handmade Gifts & Accessories at The American Craft Retailers Expo (ACRE) in Philadelphia.
Jennifer has been an onsite studio potter since 2008, and in that time we have seen her work grow and evolve tremendously. We love Jennifer and her pottery, and we're so proud of her and her well-deserved national recognition.
