Jennifer McCaw
I am a silversmith obsessed with outer space, living in the beautiful Slocan Valley. My recent work explores the mapping, colour, texture and movement of the celestial bodies. I attempt to replicate the colours and textures we see in telescope images by using techniques such as: extreme heat, impact, and patinas. Using materials including: silver, gold, precious and semiprecious gemstones, I make jewellery pieces featuring constellations, zodiac, planets, moons and comets.
McCaw holds a BFA, Majoring in Jewellery Design & Metalsmithing from NSCAD University 2001. From 2006 to 2009 she owned Looks Could Kill Art Boutique, an art gallery in downtown Calgary. Jennifer has shown work across Canada, as well as in Argentina, and Japan.
