Behind the Scenes with Penn Cove Gallery's Mary Ellen O'Connor

6/11/2017

 
Ever wondered how Mary Ellen O'Connor creates her copper and gold pieces?  Starting with a copper sheet, she cuts the shape of the cuff and bends it into a basic cuff. Then using a sinusoidal stake she starts the anticlastic shaping. She moves to another stake and planishs (flattens) it to finish the shaping. Not shown is finishing work on the edges and adding the 23K gold leaf. ​

is the heart of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, the nation's first, on scenic Whidbey Island.
If you are coming from the south take the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry; 
from the west the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry; from the north drive over the Deception Pass Bridge.
