Sterling and gemstone necklace by Akemi Walker. Photo source: the artist. Jewelry designer, Akemi Walker, is the November Artist of the Month at Penn Cove Gallery. Akemi’s special love is Art Clay Silver, a mixture of fine silver powder and organic material which comes as a form of clay. When fired, the organic material burns off and the silver fuses to become fine silver sculptured pieces. She uses freshwater pearls, semiprecious stones and Baltic amber with sterling silver to finish her designs. Living on Whidbey Island, her sculptured fine silver pieces are inspired by the incredible nature that surrounds her.
Akemi will be at Penn Cove Gallery on Friday, November 4 from 10- 5pm so be sure to stop in and see her demonstrate her work and methods.
