Metal can be hard and unrelenting, yet with fire, it becomes malleable and transformative. The journey the metal takes through multiple processes, intrigues me. Working with recyclable and scrap items often finds a presence in my practice. I enjoy working in the moment, letting intuition lead, using a number of different mediums and experimenting in color and texture, letting the materials guide me in the creative process. The ability to choose any material to create a piece of art that someone could wear is a huge invitation to a big world of possibilities.
I find that it is important to me that things are not thrown out, especially if I can give it a new place to live. Rocks, wood, tiles, broken vintage jewelry have all found a way into my art. My inquisitive need to see “what if” gives me a no boundaries approach to my art. Allowing the materials to direct the steps to the final piece is my favorite way to work. The desire not to limit what materials or processes are part of my practice, allows me to push into new areas of work, while letting the materials talk to me as I create.
My continued investigation of different forms of casting with crystals and stones in place provides an exciting direction for me to experiment with materials and processes. The anticipation of seeing the final piece and how wonderfully it survived the heat of casting is almost addicting. Working in larger scale for my work is part of the plan for this journey of manipulating metal.

Every day he pushes himself to create new pieces that evoke feelings and display the true beauty of wood. He is known for using local, reclaimed wood and for utilizing every detail to his advantage.

He has been an active member of the AAW since 2009 and actively participates in many other woodturning groups and galleries.

Ping pong paddle manufacture, luthiery, puppetry performance, teaching, and, recently, leatherwork, to name a few.
I enjoy using unconventional tools and techniques to create extraordinary works of art.

Jill M. Hubbard
What began as a creative outlet while I was in business school has turned into a small business in which I take so much pride. In recent years, I've honed my leathercraft skills and focused on making unique and on-trend jewelry from vegetable-tanned leather. For me, there's nothing like the smell and suppleness of a high-quality leather hide—it feels like Christmas morning every time I roll out a new hide and gets to dream up all the ways I might use it! I love mixing rustic-looking leather with sparkly gemstones to create unique, show-stopping accessories.
After years of living and working in different cities and states across the Midwest, I eventually found my way back home to Detroit, where I was born and raised. Outside the city, I live with my husband, our two wonderfully rambunctious boys, and our sweet, shelter-rescued mutt.

Elizabeth Hungerman
My work combines plant pressings with pencil drawings, building off of nature.
My work draws on my time working with plant specimens at an herbarium. My job then was to help preserve the specimen for future study; however, this work inspired me to make pressings of my own, which I began to experiment with. These combinations of pressing and drawings are the most current form of this ongoing project.

Mary Kernahan
My path to being a metalsmith has been nontraditional, and an all too true example of “life is what happens while you’re making other plans.” From my earliest metal working experiences in high school, I always intended to return to it as an artistic endeavor, but that goal remained unrealized until years later. A single class led to a renewed fascination with metalwork, so eager to learn more, I began to pursue it in earnest by enrolling at a local studio. There I was immersed in all aspects of metalsmithing, laying the foundation for many further studies with private tutors and in numerous independent workshops, art centers, and master classes.

Corey Marie Kitley-Hassenger *
Corey Marie is an illustrator and maker from Lansing, Michigan. I started my career as a comic book artist, caricaturist, and illustrator, and in 2007, opened PAPERCUTS handmade, initially an online shop selling my self-published comic books and screen prints of my artwork. An unfortunate elbow fracture and other life events would lead me to change my focus from drawing to making. After learning some bookbinding techniques, I began hand-sewing PAPERCUTS’ very first Art Journals, which were a success. Not long after, I began creating the wire-bound version with repurposed hand-distressed book covers. Recycled Art Journals became PAPERCUTS’ signature product, and my main focus as a maker ever since!

Paloma Núñez-Regueiro
Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a printmaker living in Ann Arbor, Michigan; she is also a resident artist at Ypsi Alloy Studios. Her work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad– the impermanence, the precarious construction of one's present, and even less of the future. It's about starting over with whatever is at hand and the rootlessness of those who move from place to place. Amongst the subjects that interest her are human migration, social visibility, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe and our dislocated relationship with it.

Paloma Núñez-Regueiro *
Sarah Nussbaumer
I studied studio art at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, earning a BFA in printmaking. I then earned my MFA in printmaking at Wayne State University. I worked in etching, lithography, silkscreen, and woodcut printing making. I have exhibited in many venues in Michigan, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
After working professionally as a graphic designer for many years, I have recently been very excited to work with clay. I am particularly interested in incising the clay when it is still soft. I use lino cutters and other repurposed items to work into the surface of each piece, revealing its story. My focus has been not so much on colors and glazes but on surface texture

Kelly O'Neill
Multi-media artist creating one-of-a-kind sculptures from recycled steel accented with ceramics and fused glass. Steel finishes include powder coating and a natural oxidized patina.
Recently, I have been exploring the manipulation of metal through fabrication machinery: Specifically, the bending and cutting of metal to form a more fluid and unique sculpture. Each shape contributes to the final form. The exploration of the positive and negative space, the composition, and the three-dimensional process results in something unique that usually surprises me. I am also exploring better integration of my ceramic and steel pieces: Building each piece with the other medium in mind.

Susan is a Michigan-based illustrator, author, and art teacher. She teaches at Calumet High School—the northernmost high school in the state of Michigan, located in the Upper Peninsula. She loves family, students, running, reading, knitting, skiing, and shoveling snow.
“My books occupy that space between people and art and story, connecting people to an idea, a person, a place, or a memory. I wish to spark the imagination in my readers and create a meaningful connection through words and pictures. Art communicates the human experience. My book art is about designing projects that utilize dialogue and storytelling. My books are small and specific, with large ideas and universal appeal. Think: Beatrix Potter meets Roz Chast and collaborates with kids, teens, and adults."

I studied art throughout my childhood and I made my first piece of jewelry when I was in high school. I was hooked. The concepts came easily to me and I showed an aptitude for metal work. For years after, I wished for a career that could be as fulfilling as my jewelry-making hobby. I began to enroll in more serious jewelry making workshops and classes. Then, in 2003 after moving back to my hometown of Kalamazoo, I fulfilled that wish and became a jeweler full time.
