The Enamelist Society Featured Member - Toni Strassler

From the artist:

" Asian, Medieval, and Byzantine art often influence my designs. Observing nature, traveling extensively, and living in the Berkshires inspire my landscapes and urban scenes. I enjoy the meticulous process of shaping cloisonné wires, experimenting with colors, and layering the many levels of fused enamel. When polished and mounted in a setting, I have produced a beautiful, unique, and wearable piece of cloisonné jewelry ."

Photo Scrapbook from Cheryl Anne Day-Swallow - TES Conference

"Jim and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who welcomed us during our first time attending an Enameling Society Conference, while in Eugene Oregon. Joe Spencer was correct when he told us that being part of the enameling society is like having an extended family. We are very grateful to be a part of this family. We ’ ve created a photo scrap book to celebrate this occasion. If you ’ re interested in viewing the Enameling Society Conference story in photograph form you can follow this link.

We also wanted to say thank you to all the people who worked so hard to make this event so special. If you have not had a chance to attend an Enameling Society’s Conference, you are really missing out."

Sincerely,

Jim and Cheryl Anne
