In the Studio with the South Coast Artists
Participants in the annual Open Studio Tour give you a sneak peek at some of their work in the own words
Ellen Merritt and Amy Beaudoin
Susan Barker, Westport
Susan K. Barker created this necklace using a high heat process to reform the silver into these lily pad shapes. This process gives each piece a unique distorted edge pattern resulting in a one-of-a-kind necklace. Susan is best known for her asymmetric necklaces constructed of lampwork beads and semi-precious stones. All of Susan's jewelry is inspired by her surroundings - summers by the sea and winters in the mountains. Website
