Metalsmithing Jeweler Returns to Angela Lensch Gallery

Earrings by Gabriel Guzman.

Regional jewelry artist Gabriel Guzman will be at Angela Lensch Gallery over the Memorial Day holiday weekend featuring his latest collection of handcrafted jewelry. Stop in between 10 am and 5 pm on May 27 & 28 to view his collection.

“As I continue to explore the possibilities of digital handcrafting (3D printing) in metals such as steel, brass, bronze, and sterling silver, I have included a new line of jewelry based on generative design to create intricate patterns impossible to sculpt in wax. Generative design allows for the creation of pieces that begin as simple shapes that evolve in a perfect marriage of art, and mathematics resulting in a perfect statement piece born of precious metals,” said Guzman.

This year’s collection also includes a line of hand-made jewelry in copper and sterling silver using time honored metalsmithing techniques. From the serious to the whimsical, the collection includes a line of jewelry Guzman calls “Copper on Fire,” where fire, water and air produce unpredictable designs on the earthy metal. Even as a pair, earrings from the Copper on Fire line will be similar but never identical.

“My newly discovered love for metalsmithing now allows me to combine the modern with the old,” added Guzman.

Refreshments and light snacks will be available throughout the event. Angela Lensch Gallery is located at 7653 Highway 42, on the south end of Egg Harbor and is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, call 920.868.5088 or visit angelalenschgallery.com.
