Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Cornelio Owen

I use natural stones and shells to make mosaic inlay jewelry. All the techniques I use are the same techniques used for centuries that I have learned from my grandma. I have recently taught myself to cut and braid leather. It is all cut by hand from natural vegetable tan leather. I like to incorporate silver into my work and is all hand fabricated. I make my jewelry using old techniques and as little modern tools, machines, and materials as possible.
