Chelsey Greene Studio
Torch-fired enamel & micro macrame jewelry
These pieces are one of a kind, torch fired enamel, combined with gold plated geometric elements and finished with gold filled ear wires, made by the artist Chelsey Greene in her home studio near San Francisco, CA. Enameling is the process by which glass is fused to the surface of copper. In this case with an open flame, handheld blowtorch. One special technique — sgraffito — is a form of decoration, pattern, design and texture made by scratching through the top enamel to reveal an underlying layer of contrasting color. With a bachelor’s degree in Textile Design from Colorado College, maker + designer Chelsey Greene was always known for dabbling in many mediums even beyond fibers. Enameling is the craft foundation of her brand, but to make her work even more distinctive and rich Chelsey has re-integrated other familiar jewelry and fiber techniques back into the process. Her work now includes micro macrame and beading.
