Katherine Crawford  
    Twisting Tree Studio
My romance with jewelry began in the woods
near Plymouth, MA and carried me as far away
as the desert of the Southwest.  I learned my
craft in the traditional way, as apprentice to a
professional jeweler and continued exploring it
during my tenure as professional wanderer with
Renaissance Festivals and high end craft/art
shows.  
The Provincetown Artisan Coop is my first real
showing away from Cynthia (my mentor).  I am
so pleased to be part of a group of such
creative individuals.  
My inspiration is the beauty of nature and to
honor her peace, color, music and physical
forms.  I use natural materials from the earth,
fresh water pearls, semi precious stones and
sterling silver as well as traditional Czech glass
and Swarovski crystal (which is the closest I can
find to capturing light).   
Each piece I create is unique and I pay specific
attention to the finite details of each link and
connection.  I enjoy designing custom pieces for
people and have had the opportunity to outfit
a few bridal parties.
I have most recently been inspired to create
wire sculpture as well as jewelry allowing me to
indulge my passion for trees as spiritual
influences and work with copper and steel wire.
 I am also going forward in my education
learning new techniques from other jewelers.  I
am so pleased to share my work with you and
thank you for your interest.
