Jewelry Exhibits Around The World:
Let’s Web Surf
I don’t have the money nor the time to go visit every museum with ongoing or special exhibits on jewelry. So thank God for the internet. I can get my cultural fix.
WIRE KNOTTING WITH LOREN DAMEWOOD
New York City 92nd st Y
Loren describes himself as “I’m a middle aged guy with a red face and not much hair, at least for now. I was born in the early fifties, observed the hippie generation mostly from the sidelines, and managed to survive the Viet Nam war by dint of becoming a technician instead of a killing machine. The former might not pay as well, but it’s a more marketable skill. That’s what I’ve been doing ever since, anyway, up until the end of 2006, when I retired from the aerospace industry.”
Many of his pieces are based on what he calls the Turk Head Knot. See the ring above.
